    Will Derek Jeter's chase for 3,000 hits be delayed further?

    The New York Yankees shortstop is eligible to come off the disabled list on June 29, but his injured right calf is still sore and he hasn't been cleared to do anything more than throw.

    "We're getting to the point where Wednesday is probably in jeopardy, but I can't rule it completely out," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Friday.

    Jeter has been throwing in Tampa but hasn't begun to run yet and hasn't swung a bat. He won't be cleared to do so by the team's medical staff until his strained calf muscle is completely healed. He will then do a minor league rehab assignment before re-joining the Yankees.

    "He's still not really doing baseball activities. He's still a little bit sore so (we'll) just continue to monitor it every day and go slow until it's ready," Girardi said.
