In arranging A-Rod’s release by the Yankees, managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner named Rodriguez, 41, to an advisory position that begins in 2017 – the final year of his $275 million contract. An MRI revealed that Stanton had suffered a Grade 3 strain of his left groin and will be out of play for at least six weeks.
Miami native Robert Andino flew all night from Las Vegas after being summoned to the major leagues for the first time since 2013 to spark a three-run fifth inning with his first hit in more than three years (May 21, 2013).
Miami team president of baseball operations Michael Hill says Miami is discussing whether to reach out to A-Rod.

Red Sox shuffle roster • Boston is going to put knuckleballer Steven Wright on the 15-day disabled list and first baseman Hanley Ramirez on the bereavement list. “But we had a mission today – go up there and find a way to perform”. He went down awkwardly and was tagged out at second base to end an 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Finnegan escaped with a no decision on Tuesday at St. Louis despite issuing six walks and surrendering two home runs among six hits in six innings.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly also said that while the Marlins weren’t serious about signing Rodriguez at the time, they weren’t ruling it out, either.
Ron Berkowitz, a spokesman for free agent Alex Rodriguez, told reporters on Monday that his client has no intention of playing for another team this season. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us. This would be the third straight year in which Stanton’s season has been cut short because of injuries. The victor of the All-Star Game’s Home Run Derby last month is batting.244 with 70 RBIs after overcoming a slow start this season.
Stanton has been essential in both the offense and defense of Miami, having led the team in home runs with 25. But it’s a good feeling to see a ball get away and Dio actually score on that.
“I’ve got to be at home plate for that”, Sale acknowledged. Hopefully he’s out a couple of weeks, and we get back at it.
Adam Eaton started the Sox off right with a first-pitch homer off Koehler, and Jose Abreu had two RBIs.

Rather than come up empty in a key spot, the White Sox pulled ahead of the Miami Marlins in an 8-7 victory in front of 20,006 at Marlins Park in peculiar fashion. During that time, he has pitched to a 4.43 ERA while missing a start serving a five-game suspension for violating team rules, insubordination and destroying team uniforms.
