NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez figures to have a one-of-a-kind day on Monday. He'll receive a lengthy suspension from baseball and then head to the ballpark to play for the New York Yankees for the first time this season. A-Rod's suspension, likely through the 2014 season, was to be announced as part of Major League Baseball's latest drug investigation, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.
