Alex Rodriguez is expected to rejoin the Yankees on Thursday in Minneapolis, but it might not be as a member of the active roster. Rodriguez, who played his second rehab game for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Wednesday night, told reporters he felt "tentative'' running the bases after Tuesday's night game in which he went 1-for-3, and repeated the word in a phone conversation with manager Joe Girardi later Tuesday night.
