Joe Girardi talked about the possibility of moving Alex Rodriguez down in the lineup, but he is hitting third once again in Game 3 against the Orioles.

Rodriguez will be New York's designated hitter, with Eric Chavez playing third base and batting ninth.

In the first two games, which the teams split, Rodriguez has gone 1-for-9 with five strikeouts. Dating to the regular season, Rodriguez has not hit a home run in his last 77 at-bats.
