ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yankees captain Derek Jeter believes hell be ready to play when eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday. "Ill play whenever they tell me. I think I could play today," Jeter said after running bases before New York won its series finale 2-0 at Texas on Thursday. "I feel good. I didnt feel my leg, which is good." Asked what he still has to do to be ready, Jeter responded, "Play a game." He has also been taking batting practice and fielding grounders this week. Manager Joe Girardi said after the series finale that he had watched Jeter and was getting good reports about how the shortstop was feeling. "Hell run again (Friday), hell see a doctor and then well go from there," said Girardi, refusing though to say whether Jeter would play. "Im not throwing anything out there. ... Im not dismissed anything either." After the Yankees play this weekend at home against Tampa Bay, they have five consecutive games at National League parks, eliminating the possibility of designated hitter. Because of that, Girardi said Jeter will have to be able to play in the field. Jeter said that shouldnt be an issue. After the Rays, New York has days off before and after a two-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers before heading to San Diego. "No problem. We play the weekend, then have a day off. Then two days and we have another day off," Jeter said. "I can play defensively. Everythings been good." Jeter has played only one game this season. He returned from off-season surgery on his left ankle July 11, and hit the first pitch he saw for an infield single. But he strained his right quadriceps in that game, putting him back on the DL. The 39-year-old Jeter broke his ankle in the opener of the AL championship series last October. A second fracture was discovered while he was rehabbing, delaying his return. He played only four minor league rehabilitation games before rejoining the Yankees. Jeter said he hadnt felt pain in the area since "a couple of days before the last MRI," which was July 18. But he added that he "wasnt running then. I was walking." NOTES: Yankees OF Curtis Granderson, out since breaking his left pinkie on May 24, started a minor league rehabilitation assignment with Class A Tampa. He played five innings in left and was hitless in two at-bats with a walk. ... New York INF Jayson Nix, sidelined by a strained right hamstring, played third base for Tampa and went 0 for 2 with a walk in his second minor league game. ------ AP freelancers Lary Bump and Mark Didtler contributed to this report.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Erik Jones is moving on up, and Toyota is providing him with a deluxe ride in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.Jones, the 2015 Camping World Truck Series champion and currently the top-seeded driver in this years Xfinity Series Chase grid with three race wins, will drive the No. 77 Toyota for Furniture Row Racing in the Cup Series in 2017 with sponsorship from 5-Hour Energy.The 20-year old from Byron, Michigan, is one of stock car racings fastest rising stars, graduating to the Cup Series after spending just one full season in each of NASCARs national series.Im excited and anxious at the same time, Jones said. Its a good fit all around. To see it all come together over the last month or so has been a pretty cool experience for me. Ive got a lot to do this year yet, but definitely excited for next year.Jones made three Cup Series starts in 2015 for Toyota teams in a substitute role. He qualified in the top 12 each time, but his average finish was 23.6.It was a big learning curve for me doing those few Cup races, Jones said. I always felt like we had decent speed, but a lot of it was putting a whole race together -- all the little things you would call special teams, I guess -- green flag stops and making sure youre hitting all those things right was the hardest thing for me.Its a big jump going from a field where 10 or 12 cars can win to a field where 20 cars can win, and all those guys are extremely talented, he added. Its definitely going to be tough, but I think Im in the best situation to succeed.ddddddddddddFurniture Row Racing owner Barney Visser said the team will attempt to gain a NASCAR charter for the No. 77 rather than competing as an open entry.Were very excited to have all the components of a second race team come together, he said. The shop can easily handle two cars, and we think were going to be more efficient per car by running two cars.We think were going to be able to run right up where we need to run.Toyota has aggressively built its NASCAR program over the past few years. In 2015, it recruited FRR and driver Martin Truex Jr. into the fold while creating a technical alliance with its flagship team, Joe Gibbs Racing.Toyota also has supported and groomed a group of young drivers, including Jones, William Byron and Christopher Bell.It was less than four years ago that Erik Jones, famously now, beat Kyle Busch in the Snowball Derby Super Modified race, Toyota Racing Development president David Wilson said. Next year, for him to ascend to the Cup Series with Furniture Row Racing is a spectacular story and Toyota is the fortunate and common denominator in that equation.This is the first time a Toyota driver has grown from the grass-roots ranks all the way through NASCARs national series. Its a great story for Toyota, but probably a greater story for NASCAR and the future of our sport. ' ' '
