It's the second time that A-Rod has been benched this postseason. He's 3-for-26 in the playoffs so far, and is 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handers.
"I just have to go out there and pitch, that's all it boils down to," Hughes said. "(I can't) really worry about being down 0-2 or that Verlander is on the mound or that we don't have our captain. Those sorts of things are going to be wasted energy."
Though he's not so great at the wave, Donald Trump knows how to deliver a stinging critique.
There were times this year when Justin Verlander took the mound while his team was reeling a bit -- and the right-hander's presence was Detroit's best shot at snapping out of a momentary funk.
Jeter reportedly first experienced left ankle issues in early September, and he exacerbated the area with the foul tip in mid-September. He was also said to have injured the same ankle, in a different place, in the last game of the regular season.

"This is a very easy place to play now," said Tigers outfielder Quintin Berry, according to a report. "Coming from Oakland, the fans there were so rowdy. It was easier to come here."
Uh-oh. There's trouble in paradise. Hurt by jabs, jeers and insults from the home crowd, off-and-on fan favorite Swisher acknowledged Sunday he wasn't much in the mood for roll call at Yankee Stadium.
"The technology is available," said Girardi. "That's what our country has done. We have evolved technology to make things better. Yeah, let's have instant replay. And not just, not just home run, fair, foul. Let's have instant replay."
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
The manager doesn't believe in panicking. The locker room doesn't believe in panicking. But if ever there was a time for it, with Derek Jeter done and the Yankees' hitters as lost as lost can be, this is it.
This team is begging for leaders, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano are the next in line. If they have it in them, they will be in line to receive the spoils of Yankee greatness. It not, this season will be over in just a couple days.
Needless to say the Yankees face an uphill battle if they hope to even win a game against the Tigers.
Detroit Tigers capitalized on a missed call by an umpire to beat New York 3-0 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.

Raul Ibanez's role will increase against the Tigers' parade of right-handed starters and will be a key figure in the Yankees' hopes of reaching the World Series.
The Yankees added reliever Cody Eppley to their active roster for the AL championship series against Detroit and dropped infielder Eduardo Nunez.
Girardi's detractors have to give the manager full marks for making the decision, executing it and doing it in such a manner that didn't cause angst in the clubhouse.
