"He is doing some stuff," Cashman said, per The Journal News. "He’s in a boot, but it’s a removable boot so he’s on a bike, (and) he can do swimming stuff. There’s a number of different exercises he can do. He can take that boot off and do some things. Although he’s in a boot anywhere from four to six to eight weeks depending on the healing process, how well it’s going, he can go back and do some of the exercise and things necessary to keep other aspects of the ankle strong."

"If it was up to me, I'd do it every day. But I don't know how much they cost," Jeter said.

News week said that Jeter will be out until at least the All-Star break after a crack was revealed in the same area of his left ankle that he injured last season. 

However, New York general manager Brian Cashman said he believes Jeter should be able to resume his rehab in possibly four to eight weeks while maintaining the 13-time All-Star can regain his standout form.

"Clearly he hasn't done anything wrong," he said Thursday. "He was cleared to play. This is the third CT scan he's had. His prior two CT scans showed the healing and 100 percent healing. He wasn't cleared for the baseball activities and cleared to play until he had 100 percent healing, so this is a new fracture, but a small one. ... (The doctor who operated on Jeter) told me 95 percent of the people that have this, they come back from it fine. You just have to back off. But it's a setback, so it's not a good situation."
