Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Friday's tilt with Tampa Bay, Mark Feinsand of NY Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will miss a sixth straight game as Carlos Beltran continues to reserve DH duties. Rodriguez has not done much to persuade Joe Girardi to put his name in the lineup as he's gone 4-for-31 (.129) in 11 games this month.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday marks Rodriguez's fourth consecutive day out of the lineup despite being listed as healthy. His well-documented struggles at the dish have seeped into the second half of the season and he was even left out of the lineup when the Yankees faced a lefty on Monday. He figures to return to the lineup at some point in the near future, but it's difficult to imagine Rodriguez regaining an everyday role barring a significant turnaround at the plate.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will be held out for a second straight day while he trudges through a miserable July, during which he's gone 4-for-31 (.129 average) with one homer and two RBI. Carlos Beltran will assume DH duties Sunday.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup Saturday against the Giants, Newsday's Steven Marcus reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees will deploy Carlos Beltran at DH and Aaron Hicks in right field, giving Rodriguez the day off against righty Johnny Cueto. He is hitting just .206/.256/.364 on the season and has really failed to approach last season's surprising bounce back campaign.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Mark Teixeira's return to the lineup allows manager Joe Girardi to give Carlos Beltran a day at DH and give Rodriguez the day off entirely. Rodriguez is just 2-for-16 since returning from the All-Star break, and although one of those hits was a home run, he is still struggling to make contact and get on base.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The home run accounted for just Rodriguez's second RBI of the month. The veteran slugger is just four for his last 21, watching his average drop to .216 for the year. He has nine home runs and 29 RBI this season.

In an attempt to find more playing time in the second half, Rodriguez plans to take grounders at first base during the All-Star break, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez was out of the lineup nine of the last 10 games, only compiling nine plate appearances during that stretch. Chase Headley has been getting the majority of starts at third base while Carlos Beltran has been the everyday designated hitter. Rodriguez is hitting .244/.348/.423 in 156 at-bats in 2016.

With Carlos Beltran expected to DH through the weekend, Rodriguez will likely be held out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday, the Westchester Journal News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran is dealing with some lingering soreness in his hamstring and manager Joe Girardi is hesitant to put the 39-year-old back in the field, leaving A-Rod without a spot in the lineup. Rodriguez was seeing his playing time against right-handers scale back anyway, as his season-long struggles at the plate have persisted with a .220/.256/.382 slash line.

EDGE Analysis
Rodriguez will spend his third consecutive game on the bench, and this is now his fifth time out of the lineup in the past seven games. Carlos Beltran is once again slotted into the DH role, with Rob Refsnyder taking over in right.
