BOSTON -- Rick Porcello doesnt figure to face Alex Rodriguez on Tuesday when the right-hander takes his undefeated 2016 home record to the mound as the Boston Red Sox open a three-game series with the New York Yankees.No announcement had been made on the potential involvement of Rodriguez, who is in his final four games as a Yankee after Sundays announcement. The veteran slugger is 3-for-22 with six strikeouts against Porcello lifetime, making a Wednesday matchup with left-hander Drew Pomeranz more likely.The rivals come into this summer series from opposite overall directions. The Red Sox are battling for both the American League East and wild-card spots and the Yankees having sold at the deadline to build toward the future.Boston is coming off a 5-6 road trip, while the new-look Yankees just won two of three from the first-place Cleveland Indians.Rodriguez and the Yankees announced on Sunday that he would be released after playing a final game at Yankee Stadium on Friday night. Manager Joe Girardi said he had to speak with Rodriguez to get a feeling on whether or not he wanted to play at Fenway, where he will hear it one last time from the fans.Rodriguez has hit .287 with 29 homers and 88 RBI in 131 career games at Fenway, a place he almost called home after a deal that would have brought him to Boston. He hit two homers in four games at Fenway Park earlier this season.Hes played a long time. It comes to an end for all of us at some point, Bostons Dustin Pedroia said. All I know is that it was never fun when he comes up. He can do some damage.Porcello, who is 14-3 overall, is 10-0 in 11 starts at Fenway this season. He has two starts coming on a brief six-game homestand before the Red Sox head back out onto the road.Hes walking the fewest number of players in his career over nine innings and his sinker has been re-established and more consistent, Boston manager John Farrell said. Those are two primary reasons for his success. Hes not beating himself.Porcello, who is 1-1 this season and 6-5 lifetime against the Yankees, has had all kinds of trouble with Jacoby Ellsbury. The center fielder is 12-for-28 with four solo homers against him.Porcello will face young right-hander Luis Severino, who pitched well out of the bullpen after his return from the minors and gets his first start since his demotion. He worked 4 1/3 strong innings in relief his last time out, getting his first win in seven big league decisions in 2016.Severino lost to the Yankees in New York on May 8 and David Ortiz has three home runs in five at-bats against him.The Yankees still are technically alive in the wild-card chase but its clear the organizations eye is on the future after trading Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova.Ive said all along Ive felt we have a good team, New York outfielder Brett Gardner said. I know weve been inconsistent and weve been disappointed and we havent, at times we havent pitched as well as we should and most of the time we havent hit as well as we should, so its been frustrating for all of us involved. But were still playing hard, still playing to win and still not giving up so we have what, 55 games left or something like that, and were going to continue to do that.Its sad. Its sad the way that this season has unfolded, not just for (Rodriguez) but for everybody and I think that if we could maybe, if we had played better as a team obviously that wouldnt be, things would be unfolding this way. Its something thats kind of hard to swallow. Air Max 1 Wholesale Australia . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. Cheap Air Max Sale .
