Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are giving Rodriguez his third day off in the last five games Wednesday as Carlos Beltran takes over as the DH against right-hander Miguel Gonzalez. Rodriguez is struggling mightily at the dish on the season, striking out a career-worst 28.1 percent of the time and getting on base at just a .256 clip.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez hadn't started any of the last three games since the Yankees were playing in San Diego and didn't have the DH spot available, but he'll be forced to sit again Monday even as the team returns to an American League park. With Carlos Beltran (hamstring) returning from injury and not cleared to play the field yet, he'll assume DH duties, leaving no room for Rodriguez in the lineup.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no DH spot available to the Yankees for the series finale in San Diego, Rodriguez will sit out of a third straight game. Look for Rodriguez to slot back into the lineup Monday, when the Yankees resume American League play with the White Sox.

Rodriguez remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Padres, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodriguez reportedly grabbed a glove and would have played third base had there been a bottom of the ninth Friday, but it's still hard to imagine he'll play the field for a full game if the Yankees can avoid it. The 40-year-old has not fielded a position once yet this year and he started all of three games in the field in 2015.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This absence could be seen coming a mile away, as Rodriguez has not played the field at all in 2016 and the Yankees are in San Diego this weekend. It would not be a surprise if Rodriguez sat out the entire interleague series with the DH unavailable. Rodriguez has found himself on the bench more of late even when the team does have the DH, having failed to kick it into gear after a dismal start to the season.

Rodriguez has been on the bench in each of the last two games with the Yankees facing a right-handed starter.

EDGE Analysis

With Aaron Hicks warming up at the plate and Carlos Beltran producing at a very high level, Rodriguez is losing a share of the playing time at DH against righties. Following a productive age-39 campaign in 2015, Rodriguez is hitting .223/.264/.398 with eight homers and 26 RBI in 44 games, carrying an OPS 180 points below last season's mark (.842) in the process.

Rodriguez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Following a streak of eight straight starts, Rodriguez will get the afternoon off, allowing manager Joe Girardi to give Carlos Beltran a day out of the field and use him at DH. Rodriguez has recorded at least one hit in seven of those eight games to raise his average up to .223, but making contact is still an issue for the 40-year-old. He also had at least one strikeout in all eight of those contests, including six in his last three games.

Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger is quietly put together a very solid month, one that has boosted his average 52 points overall. Rodriguez has hit safely in six of the last seven games, and now has six multi-hit efforts in June. While he's been largely quiet on the power front, the 40-year-old has nevertheless now tallied 12 RBI over 74 at-bats during the month.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger opened the Yankees' scoring with a two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco in the seventh, his 695th career blast. Rodriguez has now hit safely in three straight, but the homer was his first since June 3. After hitting just .130 in an injury-shortened May, the 40-year-old has a .293 average (17-for-58) to date this month, raising his average 45 points since June 1.

Rodriguez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Yankees embarking on a two-game road trip to a National League park, Rodriguez will likely be relegated to pinch-hitting duty without the availability of the DH spot. A-Rod is hitting .289 in June but is hitless in his last eight at bats, so the time off may help him clear his head.
