A-Rod Has Bone Bruise, Still Playing
Tuesday, Sept. 15
Rodriguez, 40, suffered the injury in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, per George A. King III of the New York Post. He was in the lineup again Monday after the team traveled to Tampa Bay, knocking in a game-tying RBI as the Yankees pulled off a ninth-inning comeback against the Rays.

NEW YORK — The ceremony will be simple, the New York Yankees say.
Nothing elaborate. No special guests. Just a nice little acknowledgement of what Alex Rodriguez did by reaching 3,000 hits.
Simple...as if anything with Rodriguez can ever be simple.
Just like what the Yankees did after Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit, except with A-Rod, nothing can be just like Jeter.

When the season began, Alex Rodriguez was an enigma. Then, suddenly, he was an offensive force. Now, as we enter the stretch run, the New York Yankees need him to be a savior.
Sure, if the season were to end today, the Yankees would host the American League Wild Card Game, their first dip into the postseason since 2012.
But New York is well within striking distance of the powerful Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. It could skip all that do-or-die wild-card nonsense and vault straight to the division series.
For that ...
If the New York Yankees' starting rotation were an '80s sitcom, it'd be titled Who's the Ace? And while Masahiro Tanaka might seem like the obvious answer—the Tony Danza character, if you will—Nathan Eovaldi is making his case.
Eovaldi has pitched into the sixth inning or later in 11 of his last 13 starts and allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight of them. The Yankees, uncoincidentally, have gone 11-2 in those games, and Eovaldi has gone 9-0 if pitching wins mean anything to you.
In short, he's pitched like an ace.

As if you need another reminder that Derek Jeter's life is better than yours, here it is.
While some spend retirement traveling and golfing, Jeter is, oh wait, he is actually traveling and golfing.

Here are 11 ways Derek Jeter's retirement, less than one year old, is already better than yours will ever be.Begin Slideshow
September baseball has arrived, and with it comes meaningful games for playoff-hopefuls. Divisions are up for grabs and wild card races are heating up. The simple addition of one player to a contender this week could spell victory in the long run.
The final month of the MLB's regular season allows teams to expand their rosters to 40 players through minor-league call-ups or, more importantly, getting healthy starters back from injury.
The New York Yankees are forced to go with the former as they try to climb back up the American League ...
