Injured New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera said Friday he's "working hard" to return to baseball but will not push the pace if it means risking further injury. During a visit to Saratoga Race Course, baseball's career saves leader wouldn't put a timetable on his return but said, "I'm not rushing it." "I want to pitch now," he said. "But that doesn't mean I will come back this year. It's that 1 percent we have to hope. ... But at the same time you cannot push it. If you push it, you'll make a mistake. Instead of pitching this year, you won't pitch again next year. I have to be wise and make sure I do the right thing." He added that he's "trying to do my best."
