HBT: Mariano's doc says he could return this year

Brian Cashman and everyone with the Yankees has said that Mariano Rivera is out for 2012. Cashman said it as recently as yesterday. But as Joel Sherman reports in the New York Post, at least one person thinks Mo could come back this season: the doctor overseeing his rehab.

Dr.?Keith Pyne says that Rivera?s timetable is not up to him, but that give how hard he has worked, how flexible and in shape he was at the time of the surgery and given that it was only a partially torn ACL and not a fully torn ACL, Rivera could very well successfully complete an?accelerated?timetable in his rehab.

Fun stuff and, yes, if Rivera could come back early it would be a hell of a story. ?But it?s also the case that Rafael Soriano has been almost perfect taking his place and the Yankees have a seven game lead in the division, so there?s no need for Rivera to make a superhuman effort to return early.
