A-Rod is out of the lineup and will be getting an MRI to determine the severity of his hamstring injury. A trip to the DL hasn't been ruled out. Of course, don't expect much of a drop in offensive production with Miguel Cairo filling in at 3B.
Johnny Damon gets a rare start in CF today while Melky Cabrera shifts over to LF and Hideki Matsui is the DH.
