A-Rod breaks hand, Seattle beats Yankees 4-2 - Yahoo! Sports

SEATTLE (AP) -- Even as Alex Rodriguez writhed on the ground in pain, he didn't believe his left hand was fractured.
Turns out A-Rod was wrong, and now the Yankees will be without another of their star players.


''It's difficult. Tough break,'' Rodriguez said in almost a hushed tone after New York lost to the Seattle Mariners 4-2 Tuesday night.


Rodriguez broke his hand when he was hit by an 88 mph changeup from Felix Hernandez in the eighth inning. He went down in considerable pain. The Yankees said he has a non-displaced fracture of the hand, and there is no timetable for his return. He will be placed on the disabled list and will remain in Seattle with the team for the series finale Wednesday.


Eric Chavez, Rodriguez's replacement at third base, had a similar injury in 2004. He was out for about five weeks.

Felix hit Jeter and Suzuki in that game too. His control was abnormally wild last night

The Chase Headley rumors are already flying.

Hard to say how A-Rod's broken hand will affect him in the long run.
