Last week it was a left shoulder problem, this week it’s the right knee. Brian Heyman reported yesterday that Alex Rodriguez is battling through a sore knee he originally suffered during the Cubs series. “I think there are some injuries that you can play through and some you can’t,” said Alex. “This is one I feel I can play through. I met with my doctors and they pretty much assured me that it’s something you’re not going to reaggravate. It’s getting better each day.”
A-Rod was noticeably sluggish around the bases yesterday, and he’s been lifted for pinch-runners and defensive replacements regularly over the last few days. If the knee is bothering him at the plate, he sure has done a good job of hiding it; Alex was 2-for-3 with a double and a walk yesterday, and he’s hitting .354/.448/.620 since the final day of May.
