Citing "fatigue," Yankee skipper Joe Girardi and GM Brian Cashman decided to give third baseman Alex Rodriguez two days of rest, per Mark Feinsand of the NY Daily News.
A-Rod sat Friday and will sit Saturday as well.
"We just feel that he's fatigued and that he could use a little blow," Girardi said. "We talked about giving him one day off and we were thinking about doing it tomorrow, but after we slept on it, talked about it and discussed it, we're going to give him two days off."
Not surprisingly, A-Rod called it "a great disappointment." Rodriguez, who grew up in Miami, has never played a regular-season game in Miami.
Rodriguez, who was going to leave around 100 tickets, told his mother to stay home and "save on gas money."
He has gone hitless in his last 15 at bats and has only two hits in his last 21 at bats.
