Rodriguez, 38, was implicated in August in the long-running Biogenesis investigation into the alleged use of performance-enhancing substances. Major League Baseball initially prohibited him from competing during the remainder of the 2013 season and the following 2014 campaign — a total of 211 games — though he has been allowed to play while his ban remained the subject of an appeal. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz was asked to look into the claims and on Saturday he opted to reduce A-Rod's suspension to 162 games — although the ruling will cover the Yankees' 2014 season, as well as any potential postseason games....
