MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The New York Yankees have held third baseman Alex Rodriguez out of the lineup with a bruised left foot.
Rodriguez fouled a ball off his foot in Tuesday's game at Minnesota and was on the bench for Wednesday's series finale against the Twins. Manager Joe Girardi said he might've given Rodriguez a rest for this game regardless, or at least used him as the designated hitter. Girardi said the 14-time All-Star could be available to pinch hit depending on how he felt.
To break up the left-handers in his lineup, Girardi switched Derek Jeter to the second spot and made Ichiro Suzuki the leadoff man.
Rodriguez has one hit in his last 14 at-bats. He missed nearly six weeks earlier in the season because of a broken left hand.
