Derek Jeter (ankle) will not be ready to play in Grapefruit League games when they begin next week.

No surprise there. Jeter, of course, is recovering from October surgery for a broken ankle, but The Captain says he's "right where I'm supposed to be" and fully expects to be ready to go by the start of the regular season.
