Brewers | Alex Gonzalez ahead in rehab, could play this month

Milwaukee Brewers SS Alex Gonzalez (knee), who underwent surgery to repair a torn right ACL on May 17, is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Gonzalez has been with the team while it's playing the Marlins in Miami, and manager Ron Roenicke said the shortstop has been working in the batting cages, fielding ground balls and running, though not at full speed. "He's ahead of schedule, so I don't want to say no. He's probably got an appointment in a couple weeks, and if the doctor says he's ready to go, then we'll have to rethink what we're doing," Roenicke said when asked about a return to the lineup in 2012.
