PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez expects to get some playing time at first base during the final two months of the regular season.I think so, the struggling Yankees slugger said Friday night before New Yorks game at Tampa Bay.

The game with the Rays was the sixth straight that the 41-year old was not in the lineup.Rodriguez is working out at first, which could give manager Joe Girardi additional moves off the bench.Being a piece for Joe, especially with (games against) National League teams, to be available for Joe, Rodriguez said. I want to give Joe as much flexibility as possible.Before his stretch of non-starts, Rodriguez had one hit in his previous 21 at-bats.Its part of the game ... its a tough game, Rodriguez said.

My job is to work as hard as I can and be ready for when that shot comes.Billy Martin Jersey .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner.
