Bristol, CT (My Sportsbook) - New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will reportedly meet with Major League Baseball officials on Sunday to discuss his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to ESPN.

Over the past two weeks since Sports Illustrated broke the story of Rodriguez' steroid use, the embattled slugger has openly discussed the issue both in an ESPN interview when he admitted using performance-enhancing drugs while a member of the Texas Rangers from 2001-03 and upon his arrival at spring training where he held an emotional news conference.

Saying he was "curious" and calling it a "stupid mistake," Rodriguez gave details about how he and cousin Yuri Sucart experimented with steroids from 2001 through 2003 while he was a member of the Texas Rangers. Sucart allegedly purchased and injected Rodriguez with steroids.

"I knew we weren't taking Tic-Tacs," Rodriguez stated during the news conference. "I knew it could potentially be something wrong. I didn't get into the investigation [of what it was]. When you're 24 or 25 [years old] and curious and ignorant, you don't want to share everything with the public and that was something I decided not to share with anyone."

Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003, results that were supposed to remain anonymous under an agreement between Major League Baseball and its players union, but Sports Illustrated broke the story on February 7 and two days later the three-time AL MVP admitted to using banned substances for a three-year period.

The media frenzy has continued to build steam rather than subside as time passed, with Rodriguez most recently being reportedly linked to a trainer who was banned from MLB clubhouses after an investigation spurred by a 2001 incident involving a bag of steroids. Angel Presinal, a Dominican trainer, has been associated with Rodriguez since his time with the Texas Rangers -- including the three-year period from 2001-03 when Rodriguez acknowledged using steroids.

Rodriguez attempted to shrug off the media blitz, having said he was looking forward to just playing baseball again, and smacked a two-run homer in his first official at-bat of the Spring in a 6-1 Yankees win in the team's Spring Training opener on Tuesday. Again, though, Rodriguez made headlines after the game reportedly leaving in an SUV driven by Sucart. The Yankees reportedly had to tell A-Rod to keep his cousin away from the team, a message that applied to both spring training and the regular season.

MLB officials are expected to question Rodriguez about most of his recent admissions and issues he's kept quiet about such as his relationship to Presinal. It's unclear if he will take part in the Yankees' scheduled game with the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

The 33-year-old Rodriguez, who is entering his sixth season with the Yankees after a trade from Texas before the 2004 campaign, said previously he is going to work with Major League Baseball in an anti-steroids campaign.
