Prior to Saturday afternoon's Red Sox-Yankees game, Alex Rodriguez suffered an injury during batting practice. Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets:
A-Rod hit by Berkman liner in BP. Down 5 minutes. Limps off field
[...] A-Rod was taking grounders at 3b, didn't see Berkman smash coming, reeled to protective screen behind second base
His status for Saturday's game is uncertain, as is the extent of his injury. We'll update this StoryStream once we learn more.
Rodriguez is having a bit of an off-year in 2010, but losing him for any amount of time would still be a significant blow for a Yankees team that, despite a .620 winning percentage, still has the Rays and Red Sox in close pursuit.
