Apparently Brian Cashman is pissed off at A-Rod for tweeting about his rehab status mainly because it keep contradicting the team's official announcements regarding his status.

On Monday, Cashman shot down a report that Rodriguez had been given the go-ahead to play in games.
"He has not been cleared by our doctors to play in rehab games yet," he said. "He's getting closer. There's no doubt about it. But we don't have a date for him to start playing games yet. It could be July 1. It could also be July 5, or maybe June 25."
Cashman explained that Dr. Kelly had no jurisdiction over Rodriguez's rehab once the third baseman left New York to go to Tampa. Dr. Kelly had been approved by the team to perform the surgery and oversee Rodriguez's recovery in New York.

The main issue seems to be that A-Rod has been medically cleared to be play again but the Yankees don't want him around any time soon which is why they claim he's not been cleared.
