The Major League Baseball Players Association formally appealed Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension Wednesday, sending the case to an independent arbitrator. Union spokesman Greg Bouris confirmed the appeal and said the players' association had no further comment. Rodriguez, who went 1-for-5 with a single and a walk in the New York Yankees' 6-5, 12-inning loss to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night, said he had "no reaction" to the filing of the grievance. "I don't think any of us thought it was going to be any different," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "As far as having a reaction, it's kind of what I expected. It's part of the process that was negotiated between MLB and the players' association, and you let it play out. I expect him to play a lot. We need him to help us." Source: ESPN New York
