3B Alex Rodriguez will either get a day off during the Yankees' four-game series against Toronto this weekend or when they hit the artificial turf in Minnesota next week, manager Joe Girardi said in his daily press briefing. Rodriguez has been under closer watch after complaining of fatigue a couple of weeks ago. At that point, A-Rod had played in 38 straight games since returning from hip surgery and was given two days off. The rest has served Rodriguez well as he has heated up since and added another home run in Friday's 4-2 win over Toronto. |

Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking homer in the Yankees' 4-2 win over Seattle on Wednesday. Advice: A fatigued Rodriguez, who had hip surgery in March, was held out of the lineup June 19-20 in Florida. Soon after, his swing started to come around. Now, the three-time MVP is on a hitting tear. In his last seven games, he is 10 for 23 (.435) with four homers, 13 RBIs and 10 walks. "I'm feeling better. I feel more energized out there," said Rodriguez, who also got a mini-break Wednesday as the designated hitter. |
