Welcome back, Alex Rodriguez. Well, sort of.

The former Yankees slugger will serve as a TV analyst with Fox Sports during the postseason, Rodriguez announced on Twitter.

Rodriguez, 41, served as an analyst last year after the Yankees lost their wild-card game to the Astros.

“I had a really good time last year, and I’d be watching every game anyway,” Rodriguez told The New York Times. “I love the game, and I see it as my responsibility to convey what I am seeing in the simplest way.”

As for going back to playing the game, Rodriguez remained vague.

“Right now, I don’t see it," Rodriguez said. "I hesitate to say ‘never,’ but it’s really hard to top the farewell I had a month or so ago.”
