Yankees manager Joe Girardi plans to play Alfonso Soriano only versus left-handed pitching for the time being. Soriano is hitting just .195/.221/.341 against righties this season but sports a robust .303/.329/.515 line versus southpaws. His cut in playing time means more starts for Ichiro Suzuki, who's hitting .309/.371/.351. "Most of his struggles have been off right-handers, not left-handers," Girardi said. "That's why I ran him out there again today. He has had good at-bats against left-handers. He'll continue to play against left-handers. We'll get him going."
