Derek Jeter - SS - New York Yankees

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that he expects Derek Jeter (ankle) to be ready for Opening Day.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said last week that there was a possibility Jeter wouldn't be recovered from ankle surgery in time for the opener, but Cashman is a little more tuned into the situation and feels confident that the 38-year-old will be fine as long as he avoids setbacks. Jeter is coming off a season in which he batted .316/.362/.429 with 15 homers.
