More A-Quad Aggravation

According to LoHud, Alex Rodriguez left Monday night's game in Cleveland because he aggravated the quadriceps injury he had been recovering from.

With the gametime temperature somewhere around the mid-40s, it begs the question to why Joe Girardi would allow the invaluable A-Rod to brave such wintry conditions coming off a muscle pull.

Alex Rodriguez left the game tonight after aggravating the quadriceps strain in his right leg. He said there was “no way” that he would play tomorrow night against the Tigers.

“If I had to guess, I would probably guess more than one day,” he said.

An Injury To A-Quad

A-Quad left Sunday's game with a...quad injury and is day-to-day. After 20 straight games, the Yankees *gasp* actually have today off. How A-Rod feels this morning and afternoon may determine if he misses a couple days or like Derek Jeter needs about a week to recover from the quadriceps strain.

So far Rodriguez appears optimistic the injury is more of a cramp than a pull.. As Joe Girardi would say "I don't want to get into semantics, OK?":

Alex Rodriguez left Camden Yards with his leg wrapped with a heat pad. It appears he will be out at least a few days.

“It’s a little sore, a little tight,” he said. “I have some concern about it. Anytime you have any type of feeling like that you have some concern.”

“Maybe,” Rodriguez said when asked whether he could miss a few games. “We’ll see how I wake up in the morning."
