Swisher (knees) is scheduled to run the bases for the first time this spring on Tuesday, mlb.com's Jordan Bastian reports. This is one of the bigger steps in the rehab process, but with Swisher still at least a few days away from playing in games, he's unlikely to be ready for Opening Day. He did recently get some at-bats in a simulated game, and he's been taking batting practice since the end of February.
