TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter resumed hitting and fielding drills Friday for the first time since mid-April, a day after receiving medical clearance to increase his rehabilitation program for a broken left ankle. Jeter hit off a tee and took swings at underhand soft toss in an indoor cage before fielding 13 grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt and 23 more at deep shortstop. He made throws to first on some of the grounders hit to him on the grass. "They gave the green light, so thats encouraging," Jeter said. "Im looking forward to it." Eduardo Nunez, who strained a muscle on his left side while filling in for Jeter, took swings and fielded grounders with the Yankees captain. "Everything is a progression," Jeter said. "Do more each and every day. As soon as I can do it, Ill do it. As soon as I can comeback, Ill be back." Jeter is working out at the Yankees minor league complex. "In terms of everyday schedule, I dont know what that is," Jeter said. "Its more of taking it one day at a time."
