Alex Rodriguez is officially back on the New York Yankees roster after his season-long suspension ended when the San Francisco Giants won the 2014 World Series on Wednesday.

Rodriguez missed the entire 2014 MLB suspension after he was suspended for his involvement in the controversial Biogenesis case. The veteran third baseman has not spoken publicly about the controversy and is not planning to speak to the media anytime soon after being removed from Major League Baseball's restricted list.

The 39-year-old still has three years and $61 million left in the contract he signed in 2007. During the suspension, Rodriguez reportedly made sure to keep himself in shape, but general manager Brian Cashman said that they are unsure about what to expect from the 20-year veteran when he makes his return to the team.

"I don't know what to expect because he missed a full year," Cashman said via Newsday. "I know I expect hard work and dedication because that's something he does bring. He's going to work his tail off and he's going to compete, that I can count on. Can I count on the results that come with the position? That I don't think, in my chair or Joe Girardi's chair, is the safe route to take."

Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia is excited to have Rodriguez back on the team. The 34-year-old left-hander, who also missed the majority of the season due to a knee injury, knows that A-Rod will not be the same player he was several years back, but he is still convinced that Rodriguez could contribute next season.

"Obviously he's not going to be the A-Rod of winning MVPs," Sabathia said via NY Daily News. "He's had a year off, obviously, but he's been working and hopefully had some time to get healthy."

Rodriguez, who has a career hitting average of .299 with 654 homeruns, has only played in 44 games over the past two years because of hip injuries. Yankees manager Joe Girardi recently said that Rodriguez will be on their roster next season, but is not guaranteed to start at third base.

"We have to see where he is at," Girardi said late last month via ESPN New York. "I think that is the thing that we have to do. I believe he is going to be 40 next summer, and we need to see where he is physically at."
