BOSTON (AP) – Alex Rodriguez is not in the starting lineup for the New York Yankees as he remains one homer away from tying Willie Mays’ total of 660, fourth most in baseball history.
Manager Joe Girardi decided to rest Rodriguez on Friday night with an afternoon game scheduled for Saturday.
He says Rodriguez will be available to come into the game Friday against Boston if needed.
Rodriguez hit his 659th homer last Sunday. But in his most recent game Wednesday, he was hitless in six at-bats with four strikeouts and a game-ending double play in a 3-2 loss in 13 innings to Tampa Bay. The Yankees were off Thursday.
In his last 10 games, Rodriguez is 5 for 36 with one homer and two RBIs.
