A-Rod Has Injured Hip, May Miss WBC

From Jack Curry:
Alex Rodriguez has an injured hip and may not play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, according to a person in baseball who has spoken to Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is expected to fly to Colorado on Wednesday to meet with Dr. Marc Phillipon, a hip specialist. Before he left for the W.B.C., the Yankees’ medical staff examined him, and he had a magnetic resonance imaging test on Saturday. The M.R.I. showed that Rodriguez had a cyst.

Despite the cyst, Rodriguez went 1 for 3 in the Dominican Republic’s 10-1 victory over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday. The Dominicans open the W.B.C. by playing the Netherlands on Saturday in San Juan, P.R.

Even if Rodriguez only has a cyst, it is unlikely that the Yankees will want him to risk further injury by playing in the tournament.

Hey Alex, stop with the WBC nonsense and get yourself ready for the regular season.

Hey greg, why doesn't Jeter stop the WBC nonsense and get himself ready for the season? You should at least try to mask your contempt for Arod better.

Neither one of them should play in that BS competition.
