From Bronx Banter, via Will Carroll:
The Yankees are saying that Alex Rodriguez will return on May 15; sources tell me that he’s “way in front of that.”
Carroll is the injury expert, so his word is generally golden in this area. I am not sure what “way in front of that” means, but I am starting to get the vibe that we will see A-Rod before April is out, possibly in time for the series with the Angels that spans the end of April and the start of May. There are only 23 games in April, with series against Baltimore, KC, Tampa, Cleveland, Oakland, Boston, and Detroit. The difficulty of the schedule probably depends on the quality of the Al Central teams, but the Yankees should be able to survive without Alex for a few weeks due to their improved pitching. If they can experience some success without Alex, the club may really take off when his potent bat is added to the middle of the order.

The day that Arod had the surgery, he was on a bike. I remember thinking that he would recover very quickly.
This is a great sign for two reasons. First, we get him back earlier. Second, the now-aging Alex Rodriguez seems to recover quickly from injuries. That’s a really good sign for the big contract.
If he comes back early, expect a spate of “Hmmm, HGH helps you recover quickly from injury” type articles.
I think no matter what he does, there’ll be negative stuff written.
I think he’s going to have a very good year.
