News and Notes (Courtesy of MLB.com):
- Of course the Yankees are counting down the days until cleanup hitter Alex Rodriguez is back in the lineup, but surprisingly, the lineup hasn’t missed a beat since he was injured. In the 12 games that Rodriguez has missed this season, the Yanks are 12-0. And Robinson Cano, who has moved into the cleanup spot, went 2-for-4 on Sunday with a grand slam and six RBIs. But as Girardi said on Sunday, there won’t be a hesitation to re-insert A-Rod when he’s ready. “Let’s hope we get to that point, and then I’ll put him in the next day,” Girardi said with a smile. “Basically, people have stepped up in his absence.”
- Andy Pettitte will be traveling with the Yankees to Toronto as he continues his comeback from a strained left groin.
- Yanks lefty CC Sabathia picked up his team-leading 17th win of the season on Sunday.
The game will take place at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. It’s slated to start at 7:07PM ET. The game is being televised on the YES Network. The game can also be heard on the radio on WCBS 880.
