"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TAMPA, Fla. (AP)  Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez started his third week of on-field work by adding defensive drills and hitting in a cage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   The 37-year-old, recuperating from left hip surgery on Jan. 16, fielded grounders and took 25 swings during a batting practice session in an indoor cage Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   A-Rod, who has been hitting off a tee and taking swings at underhand soft tosses, ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   \"Not bad,\" Rodriguez said when leaving the player's parking lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   New York expects A-Rod to return after the All-Star break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   First baseman Mark Teixeira, sidelined by a right wrist injury, took another step toward playing in minor league games by batting in a simulated game against a pair of minor league pitchers. Teixeira has been out since injuring his wrist with the U.S. on March 5 before the World Baseball Classic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Corner infielder Kevin Youkilis, on the disabled list with a lumbar spine sprain, continued taking on-field batting practice. He took grounders at third and made throws to both first and second base.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Youkilis also participated in Teixeira's simulated game but tracked the pitches and did not swing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   NOTES: RHP Joba Chamberlain (right oblique strain) had a bullpen session and is expected to throw in a minor league game this week. ... SS Eduardo Nunez (oblique strain) fielded grounders.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
