Alex Rodriguez faced Andy Pettitte in a simulated game at Yankee Stadium this morning and both injured players look to be on their way to a quick return.

“I felt good,” Rodriguez said, according to ESPN.com. “[Pettitte] looked great. I’m glad I don’t have to face him every day.”

Pettitte threw 50 pain-free pitches testing his injured groin, and Rodriguez was able to run down the first-base line testing his injured calf.

Rodriguez is eligible to come off the disabled list Sunday.

“We’ll see how he feels [Sunday] morning and then make our decision,” Joe Girardi said.

The Yankees have not said if or when Pettitte will make a minor-league start before rejoining the team.

Yankees great Reggie Jackson served as the home-plate umpire, according to the report.
