Alex Rodriguez went through an even more intense pregame workout than Thursday, though neither the third baseman nor his manager sounded as if he'd be activated Saturday. Sunday remains a possibility -- "I'm not counting this weekend out," Rodriguez said -- but Tuesday is looking more likely.
"I think everything was better," said Rodriguez, most encouraged by the running he did from first to third, something he didn't do Thursday.
