NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez has played in 2,781 Major League games. Now, with less than a week left in his career, one of the only remaining questions to be answered is how many games he has left.

Rodriguez, who announced Sunday morning that his 22-year MLB career will come to an end on Friday at Yankee Stadium, will for sure be in the lineup for the Yankees in that game against the Rays. Beyond that, though, manager Joe Girardi said he’s open to playing the veteran as frequently as every day, as long as that’s what Rodriguez wants.

“I mean, that’s a conversation I have to have,” Girardi said. “If he wants to play in every game, I’ll find a way. I need to talk to him, we need to sort through these emotions, see about today.”
