What, me worry?

Alex Rodriguez announced his plans to fly out to Chicago to play for the New York Yankees Monday night, despite swirling rumors that the third baseman will likely be suspended from Major League Baseball before the game's opening pitch is thrown.

"I'm excited to play Monday," Rodriguez said after he walked all four times at bat while playing for the minor league Trenton Thunder game Saturday night. "I can't wait to see my teammates. I feel like I can help them win."

Rodriguez, who has yet to play in the majors this year as he comes back from hip surgery, made plans to work out this morning before "flying to Chicago" to don his pinstripes and take the field against theChicago White Sox in Illinois.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi told ESPN today he has the 14-time All Star, two-time Gold Glove and three-time American League MVP penciled in to the team's lineup for Monday's game.

Despite the hopes of the third baseman and his manager, MLB is expected to issue a suspension Monday that will likely extend through the end of the 2014 season.
