NEW YORK -- His time with the New York Yankees drawing near an end following more than a decade of controversy, Alex Rodriguez proclaimed: No matter what happens, Im at peace with myself.After trading four veterans and turning their attention toward rebuilding, the Yankees appear to have little or no use for a 41-year-old designated hitter with a .205 batting average, one whose playing time has all but disappeared in the past month.I think I can contribute. I think I can help out in the clubhouse, Rodriguez said Tuesday, but if not, I have two beautiful daughters waiting for me in Miami.Four home runs shy of 700, he trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the career list. But he may not get there with the Yankees, who want to test their prospects after giving up hope on the present by dealing Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova for 10 prospects, pitcher Adam Warren and two players to be named.In maybe the near future, do I see him getting a ton of at-bats? manager Joe Girardi said at Citi Field. No. I probably dont, because of some of the changes that were possibly going to make here.Rodriguez has a $20 million salary this year and is owed $20 million in 2017, the final season of his $275 million, 10-year deal. The money makes a trade unlikely, leading to speculation he will be designated for assignment and then released.Owner Hal Steinbrenner, speaking Tuesday on an ESPN radio show simulcast on the teams YES Network, said decision-makers had not gotten that far.I havent discussed with the baseball people anything about what were going to be doing in the hours and days to come, he said.The last two weeks have been about trades, trades, trades, he added, before dropping a hint: My job is to do whats best for the organization.General manager Brian Cashman said catching prospect Gary Sanchez could be called up as soon as Wednesday, when the team returns to Yankee Stadium and regains a designated hitter -- another signal A-Rods time in the Bronx is short.For now, Rodriguez is prepared to mentor while he sits when healthy for the most time since he was a rookie with Seattle in 1994.At-bats are going to come if they come. he said. If they dont, they dont. I know that when I was 18 years old and in a big league clubhouse, it was instrumental to have guidance like Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner to show me the way.Sanchez isnt likely the only new face to see playing time. Outfielder Aaron Judge, sidelined since early July by a knee injury, was activated from the disabled list Tuesday and in the lineup for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre along outfielder Clint Frazier, the top prospect obtained from Cleveland in the Miller deal.Pitcher Luis Severino also is back up with the Yankees after impressing last summer and struggling this spring. Greg Bird is expected to take over from Mark Teixeira at first base next year after missing all of 2016 following shoulder surgery.Ever since the Yankees acquired Rodriguez from Texas before the 2004 season, he has been the center of attention, whether winning his second and third AL MVP awards, admitting in 2009 he used performance-enhancing drugs, helping New York win the World Series later that year or serving a one-year drug-related suspension in 2014.I know that the organization has a brighter future today than it did last week, and hopefully Im part of that equation, Rodriguez said. But if not, I can accept it very clearly. Jeremy Roenick Jersey .

Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Coming off of its first home loss in nearly two years, sixth-ranked Virginia has a quick turnaround when it plays host to East Carolina on Tuesday night.The Cavaliers fell to No. 25 West Virginia 66-57 on Saturday afternoon and suffered just their third loss at home since the 2013 season. The other two losses came at the hands of Duke and Wisconsin.The loss to West Virginia ended a 24-game home winning streak and a five-game home winning streak against ranked opponents.Virginia played its worse game of the young season as they turned the ball over 14 times, allowing the Mountaineers to convert 18 points off of those turnovers. East Carolina enters Tuesdays matchup with a 7-2 record but against opponents that are not to the level of the Cavaliers.The Pirates do have a solid defense that is allowing just under 60 points per game and should challenge a Virginia offense that has sputtered in their last two games.The Cavaliers have scored just 120 points combined in their last two, and the Pirates will give them their moneys worth on the defensive end and on the glass. East Carolina is averaging 44 rebounds per game, which ranks them in the top 10 in the country in that category.Not many words were said. Guys were just upset. Coach Bennett said, Its not the end of the season. Learn from this, grow from this. He didnt think the effort was poor. We just need to fix a few breakdowns, and well learn from it and get better, Virginia freshman guard Ty Jerome said after the Cavaliers loss to West Virginia.ddddddddddddJerome played 10 minutes in Virginias loss on Saturday and helped break the Mountaineers press in the Cavaliers four-guard lineup. Despite not scoring, Jerome showed he will continue to see minutes as a freshman with his ability to take care of the basketball.Guard Darius Thompson had his best game of the season with 14 points and was the only Cavaliers player to score in double figures.Guard London Perrantes was just 2 of 10 from the field as he struggled against a West Virginia defense that knew it had to key on him. Tuesdays game against East Carolina should give the senior a chance to bounce back and get his shooting on track.Asked how much he sees his opponents key on him, Perrantes said, A lot. I feel like I get everybodys best now, with Malcolm 1/8Brogdon 3/8 and Anthony 1/8Gill 3/8 being gone. I just have to get used to it.It is early in the season and Im not used to it, but we have guys that can step up and help me and help the team, so Im not worried too much about it.East Carolina is led by guard Caleb White, who is averaging 15 points per game in 33 minutes played per game this season. White dropped 20 points in the Pirates 69-57 win over North Carolina Central on Saturday and he will be key for the East Carolina offense against Virginias packline defense.
