River Ave. Blues discusses the latest treatment for Alex Rodriguez’s hip. He’ll rest one day a week.
The more I think about this weekend’s A-Rod injury flap, the more I wonder how the Yankees could get this one so wrong. Just two months removed from a major labrum procedure, Joe Girardi penciled A-Rod into the lineup for 38 straight games. He played the field for 36 of them and DH’d during the other two. As A-Rod slumped his way through June, it became clear that the Yanks needed to get him a rest. They did on Friday and Saturday, and he appeared stronger on Sunday.
I’m not sure I agree with RAB here. In his time back, the Yankees received four off days and Alex served as DH in two more, at least taking time off from the field. That’s about six off days in a little over five weeks. Unless the doctor wants him to play one less game a week, it doesn’t seem to be that different.
