According to Chad Jennings, Alex Rodriguez is out of tonight’s lineup:
Joe Girardi said he’s strictly playing it safe with Alex Rodriguez.
He hasn’t seen anything to cause alarm, but given the fact there were no rehab games to ease Rodriguez in, Girardi didn’t feel comfortable playing him four games in a row. He decided to give him today off, and Rodriguez might get another day in either Texas or Tampa.
Also, C.C. Sabathia will be going for his 20th win tonight, which would be the first time in his career. Sabathia has been pitching in the Big Leagues for the past 12 years.
