 Rodriguez was lifted with one out in the bottom of the sixth
inning.
Rodriguez reportedly tweaked his oblique taking swings in the
batting cage behind the Yankees dugout and the injury was officially
announced after the top of the eighth.
"Anytime someone has an oblique, you're not optimistic because they
take a while," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Rodriguez was 1-for-2 Sunday. He struck out swinging for the first
out of the second inning and had an RBI double off the left-field
wall in the fourth to raise his average to .145.
