Alex Rodriguez went five innings with a home run in his rehab start in Trenton on Friday night[/caption]With the Biogenesis Report suspensions looming, you would think Alex Rodriguez would be worried. Well if he was, it didn't show. A-Rod played a rehab game today in Trenton earlier this evening with his future still uncertain on where he'll be on Monday: with the Yankees or at home due to a suspension?
Back to the rehab game, Alex Rodriguez looked like a player that wasn't bothered by his recent injuries, going 1-for-2 with a 2-run home run that left Arm & Hammer Stadium in Trenton. Alex Rodriguez also fielded two baseballs during the evening.
The first ball hit to him ricocheted off his glove, but he was able to recover it and throw to first for the out. The second ball hit to him was a ball in the hot corner that Rodriguez snagged and threw to first, looking as if the hip or his calf weren't nagging him.
Rodriguez walked in the first inning on five pitches, he homered in the third on a fastball that was down the middle of the plate and struck out in the fifth inning on a 2-2 change-up. After A-Rod's final AB, he went to the sidelines (while the game was still in the fifth inning) and started signing autographs, taking pictures and he even gave his bat to a fan. A-Rod made his way to the clubhouse which officially ended his night.
Rodriguez is supposed to play another game tomorrow night and then his fate will be in the hands of Major League Baseball on Sunday night, with MLB making the decisions on Monday morning. Will A-Rod be in Yankees pinstripes Monday or will he be suspended (or banned) from baseball?
