A-Rod out after one at-bat
Alex Rodriguez’s return to the Yankees lineup didn’t last long. A-Rod jogged on a second-inning groundout to third base against the Mariners’ Felix Hernandez and was pinch-hit for when the DH spot came back up in the fourth inning, as the Yankees sent Austin Kearns to the plate instead.
The Yankees haven’t made an official announcement about his condition, but obviously Rodriguez’s strained left calf still seems to be bothering him. They were trailing 5-0 at the time he was pinch-hit for.
