NEW YORK -- Livid over Alex Rodriguez's decision to tweet an update on his rehab process, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman had a message for the third baseman. 
  
 "You know what, when the Yankees want to announce something, [we will]," Cashman told ESPN New York. "Alex should just shut the f--- up. That's it. I'm going to call Alex now." 
  
 Rodriguez tweeted Tuesday that he has been cleared to play in rehab games. Rodriguez's comments seemed to contradict what Cashman told ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews on Monday. 
  
 "Visit from Dr. [Bryan] Kelly over the weekend, who gave me the best news - the green light to play games again!" Rodriguez tweeted. 
  
 Rodriguez, in a statement released Wednesday morning though a spokesman, said "the tweet was pure excitement" over the doctor's prognosis. 
  
 "I will continue to work hard until my efforts get me back in pinstripes and help my team win," Rodriguez said. 
  
 Cashman had on Monday shot down a report that Rodriguez had been given the go-ahead to play in games. 
  
 "He has not been cleared by our doctors to play in rehab games yet," he said. "He's getting closer. There's no doubt about it. But we don't have a date for him to start playing games yet. It could be July 1. It could also be July 5 or maybe June 25." 
  
 Cashman explained that Dr. Kelly had no jurisdiction over Rodriguez's rehab once the third baseman left New York to go to Tampa. Dr. Kelly had been approved by the team to perform the surgery and oversee Rodriguez's recovery in New York. It was now sole in the team's hands. 
  
 "There is always a chain of command with injuries," Yankees manager Joe Giardi said after the Yankees' 5-3 win on Tuesday. "And there has to be. That is the process. It goes through our training staff, our doctors, our GM and then it probably gets to me." 
  
 Girardi said he always understood that Yankees' team doctors needed to clear Rodriguez before he could play in a rehab game. 
  
 Cashman ended up emailing Rodriguez and did not get an immediate response. 
  
 The Yankees' relationship with Rodriguez has been tense since the end of the 2012 playoffs. ||||| Join me July 13th in Anaheim, CA at Relentless 2018 hosted by @ dannymorel ! Purchase tix: Relentlessevent.com ||||| Alex Rodriguez has angered the New York Yankees front office by tweeting information about his comeback from a long-term hip injury. 
  
 The star third baseman tweeted Tuesday that his surgeon has cleared him to play in rehabilitation games, a move that angered Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, according to ESPN.com. 
  
 "You know what, when the Yankees want to announce something, (we will)," Cashman told the website. 
  
 "Alex should just shut ... up," the GM said, punctuating his comment with a profanity. 
  
 Cashman added that he planned to get in touch with Rodriguez right away. 
  
 The general manager did not respond to calls from The Associated Press. 
  
 Rodriguez had left hip surgery on Jan. 16 and has been working out since May at the Yankees' complex in Florida. The three-time AL MVP took swings in a simulated-game situation for the first time on Monday. 
  
 On Tuesday, he posted a message on Twitter: "Visit from Dr. Kelly over the weekend, who gave me the best news - the green light to play games again!" Rodriguez also posted a photo of himself and Dr. Brian Kelly, who performed the operation in New York. 
  
 Cashman recently said Yankees doctors have not yet cleared A-Rod for minor league rehab games. 
  
 "I don't tweet, and I really don't follow Twitter. So I probably don't really know much of what is going on. As far as I know he has not been cleared," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday night after his team's 4-3 victory over Texas. 
  
 "There's always a chain of command with injuries. There has to be and that's the process. It goes through our training staff, our doctors and our GM and then it goes to me. I'm down on the totem pole." |||||

– New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman seems less than thrilled about Alex Rodriguez's tweet announcing that he has been cleared to play in rehab games as he recovers from a long-term hip injury. "You know what, when the Yankees want to announce something, [we will]," Cashman tells ESPN. "Alex should just shut the f--k up. That's it. I'm going to call Alex now." He says no date has been set for Rodriguez to play in rehab games and the doctor who supposedly gave the OK no longer has jurisdiction over the third baseman. Yankees manager Joe Girardi was a little more diplomatic on the subject of A-Rod after his team's 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers last night, reports the AP. "I don't tweet, and I really don't follow Twitter. So I probably don't really know much of what is going on. As far as I know he has not been cleared," he said. "There's always a chain of command with injuries. There has to be and that's the process. It goes through our training staff, our doctors, and our GM and then it goes to me. I'm down on the totem pole."
