Jimmy Rollins was 4-4 with two RBIs in an extended spring training rehab start today.

“It was fine,” Rollins said. “Running around the bases for the first time, it felt good. Second time, I felt a little twinge, but I was still able to kick it in coming around to score, and I was fine…

…”Once I get the confidence that I can do anything without worrying about my ankle, that’s when I know I’m 100 percent,” Rollins said. “So, with that being said, I feel about 90 percent confident.”

He’ll play again tomorrow in another rehab start and he’s scheduled to come off the 15 day DL on Thursday. Don’t expect him in the lineup unless he’s 100%.
