New York manager Joe Girardi plans to rest his star slugger to help him recover from the fatigue that has slowed him down recently. "That sounds like a good plan," Rodriguez said Sunday. "From what I understand, that comes from Vail (Colo.) and Dr. Philippon. We'll follow his instructions and regroup in a month. The idea is that I'll get stronger each month." Girardi plans to work with the third baseman to schedule his off days between now and the All-Star break. "We're going to have to give him some time, pick a couple days between now and the All-Star break, then see where we are after the All-Star break," Girardi said. "I think the rest will help him. He's been through a lot - the physical rehab, playing in games." |
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will get one day off per week over the next month.
