Alex Rodriguez out of Yankees’ lineup (AP)
Alex Rodriguez is out of the New York Yankees' lineup, this time as a precaution after playing two straight games since coming off the disabled list. Manager Joe Girardi says he's just keeping his slugger fresh as he recovers from a strained left calf. Girardi says he likely will not let Rodriguez play an extended stretch of games for another week.
Yankees Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
A.J. Burnett has had worse outings than the one he had Monday, but few of them have seemed to bother the right-hander as much as the 4-3 loss to the Orioles did.
Burnett gave up four runs on seven hits and four walks in seven innings, limiting Baltimore to single runs in four different innings. Unfortunately, two of those innings came immediately after the Yankees had tied the game, shifting the momentum—and the lead—back to Baltimore.
"You want to throw up a zero no matter what, but especially when we score," Burnett said. "I wasn't able to do that."
Burnett's fastball and curveball were sharp, as he used the hook to induce a pair of double plays, but his changeup wasn't as good as it was five days earlier.

Nunez, bullpen lift Yanks to 9-5 win over Seattle (AP)
Eduardo Nunez will certainly remember his first big league hit, when he drove in the go-ahead run at Yankee Stadium in place of Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. He might get a few more chances, too, now that A-Rod's on the disabled list. Nunez singled in the seventh inning Saturday, breaking open a tie game and helping New York to a 9-5 win over the Seattle Mariners.

Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was hit in the leg by Lance Berkman's sharp grounder during batting practice Saturday and was removed from the starting lineup against Boston.

Votto, Swisher win vote for final All-Star spots (AP)
After this successful campaign, maybe New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher should consider a future in politics. Swisher and Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto were chosen by fans on Thursday for the final two roster spots in Tuesday's All-Star game at Anaheim, Calif. Swisher edged Boston first baseman Kevin Youkilis for the final AL spot.
