DotF: A-Rod homers in final game of rehab assignment

In case you missed it earlier, C Gary Sanchez has a non-displaced fracture in his right thumb and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Sucks. He was hit by a foul tip last night. C Sebastian Valle has been bumped up Double-A Trenton to fill Sanchez’s roster spot, so says Shane Hennigan.
