Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is hoping to return to the team's lineup by May 15, when the team will start a homestand in the Bronx.

"There's no firm date yet," general manager Brian Cashman said. "We're still trying to get a target date with the doctor and his rehab (specialist). It's kind of a floating one."

While the Yankees are projecting Rodriguez's return around May 15, Cashman said A-Rod "feels it could be sooner."
