Alex Rodriguez told the Yankees on Wednesday that he is “unsure” when he will be ready to play — if at all — this season, according to a source familiar with A-Rod’s three-way conference call with general manager Brian Cashman and team president Randy Levine.

It was the first time Rodriguez had spoken to Cashman in more than a month. The call, which took place at 5:30 p.m., came hours after managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner met with Rodriguez that morning in Tampa to discuss a tweet by A-Rod that had angered Cashman.

The Yankees have refused to give a timeline on Rodriguez’s return to the majors this season or even specify a date for him to begin a rehab assignment as he recovers from hip surgery.
