A-Rod held out of Saturday's lineup, likely to miss extended time

Baseball Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rodriguez is not in the Yankees' starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Seattle and will likely be out at least through the weekend while battling a lingering calf strain.

Rodriguez returned to New York's lineup on Friday against the Mariners after a three-game absence and was pulled for a pinch-hitter after just one at-bat with tightness in the calf area.

Manager Joe Girardi told the New York Post Saturday that his slugger is not expected to play the remainder of the weekend set with Seattle and could sit for most if not all of a three-game series in Toronto to follow. He added that a DL stint remains unlikely.

Rodriguez has swatted 21 home runs and knocked in 97 runs this year while holding a .265 average through 112 games. His 97 RBI stands second in the majors entering Saturday's slate of games.

Eduardo Nunez is getting his first-ever starting nod at third base Saturday in Rodriguez's stead.
