A-Rod’s strange season a cause for concern?

On the season, Alex Rodriguez is hitting .272/.344/.479. He has been as streaky as anyone in the game, though there have been more lows than highs.

A-Rod pulled in Baltimore

Alex Rodriguez was pulled from today’s game following the bottom of the first inning (he was replaced by Ramiro Pena). There was no clear reason as to why A-Rod was pulled, however, just a week ago he was dealing with some minor tightness in right groin. I’m assuming this could be related. UPDATE – Yup, [...]

Alex Rodriguez pulled with groin tightness

In the 9th inning of today’s game, a game in which the Yankees won, 4-3, Alex Rodriguez was replaced at third base with Ramiro Pena.
