ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has completed his second day of baseball workouts without a problem and could soon start taking batting practice.

Rodriguez hit off a tee and took part in a soft toss session Tuesday for the second consecutive day. He also threw, stretched and took grounders in an indoor cage at Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' spring training ballpark.

The baseball drills were moved from the team's minor league complex because of rain.

The Yankees have targeted approximately May 15 for A-Rod's return, although the three-time AL MVP is hoping to be back earlier.
