A day after Alex Rodriguez played his final game for the New York Yankees, the team called up top prospect Aaron Judge, who made his major-league debut in Saturdays 8-4 win against the Tampa Bay Rays.The Yankees officially released Rodriguez on Saturday afternoon, ending his 12 years in pinstripes and perhaps his big league career after 22 seasons.Its strange, manager Joe Girardi said of Rodriguez no longer being on the team. I have a lineup card, and his name is not on there. And theres not another Rodriguez in our organization who is up in the big leagues who makes me think hes on there. I think about all the great players that have walked, not just through these doors but the doors that were across the street who eventually retired.Judge, who Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said will be the teams every-day right fielder going forward, hit eighth.Prospect Tyler Austin was also called up from Triple-A and made his MLB debut at first base.Austin and Judge launched their Yankees careers with back-to-back home runs in their first major league at-bats Saturday, hitting solo shots off Matt Andriese in the second inning, becoming the first pair of teammates in baseball history to hit consecutive home runs in their first career plate appearances.Judge, 24, was hitting .270 with 19 home runs and 65 RBIs in 93 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 6-foot-7 slugger was ranked 23rd overall in Keith Laws midseason MLB prospect rankings.Austin was hitting .323 with 13 homers and 49 RBIs in 56 games for the RailRiders.In other moves Saturday, the Yankees optioned right-hander Ben Heller to Triple-A and transferred right-hander Conor Mullee to the 60-day disabled list.Releasing Rodriguez leaves the Yankees responsible for the $27,103,825 remaining on his $275 million, 10-year contract. He is owed $7,103,825 of his $20 million salary for the final 65 days of this season and $20 million next year.The 41-year-old designated hitter went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in his finale Friday night, a 6-3 win over Tampa Bay.Last night was a special night, Cashman said. [I] had a chance to talk to him before the game and had a chance to talk after the game. I think it was great for Alex, great for our fans and great for our win column. It was also nice that he helped impact us as well.The roster has been changing a lot, so today is a new day. Its been a new day quite often lately, to be honest. Weve had a lot of changes, some quality people weve said goodbye to and a lot of quality people weve been saying hello to. Its the nature of the beast.Rodriguez hit .200 with nine homers and 31 RBIs for the Yankees this season. He has 696 home runs, fourth on the career list behind Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714).Rodriguezs career batting average is at .295. A 14-time All-Star and three-time AL MVP, Rodriguez has 3,115 hits, and his 2,086 RBIs are second to Aarons 2,297 since RBIs became an official statistic. Rodriguez was suspended for the 2014 season for violations of baseballs drug agreement and labor contract.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Greenwood Jersey .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard played starring roles as West Indies beat South Africa by four wickets in the opening match of the Tri-series in Guyana. The duo were returning to international cricket after missing the victorious World Twenty20 campaign and Narine took a career-best 6-27 as South Africa were bowled out for 188 off 46.5 overs on a slow pitch.West Indies were 76-4 in replay but Pollard then hit 67 not out off 67 balls to get the hosts home with 11 balls to spare.Pollard smashed six sixes in his match-winning knock, becoming just the fourth West Indies player to hit 100 maximums in one-day internationals.South Africa chose to bat first and openers Quinton de Kock (30) and Hashim Amla (20) put on 52 before a 78-run third wicket stand between Rilee Rossouw (who top scored with 61) and captain AB de Villiers (31). Sunil Narine enjoyed a sensational return to international cricket But De Villiers fell to a good return catch by Jerome Taylor and South Africa subsequently collapsed from 160-3, their last seven wickets falling for just 28 runs as Narine proved too good for the middle and lower order.ddddddddddddForced to remodel his action after it was deemed illegal during the Caribbean sides last ODI campaign in Sri Lanka last November, the 28-year-old mystery spinner had Rossouw caught at first slip and then snared a trio of lbw dismissals, including last man Imran Tahir (0). Set a relatively modest target, the West Indies opening pair of Johnson Charles (31) and Andre Fletcher (11) rode their luck in a 37-run stand before the introduction of the spinners led to a collapse.Imran Tahir (2-41) bowled the openers with googlies while Aaron Phangiso (3-40) and J.P. Duminy removed Marlon Samuels (1) and Denesh Ramdin (10) respectively, to have the hosts wobbling at 76-4.But Pollard, whose first three scoring shots were huge sixes, salvaged the situation alongside Darren Bravo (30), who helped to add 74 runs for the fourth wicket.Bravo then fell to Phangiso for 30 and World Twenty20 final hero Carlos Brathwaite (8) was dismissed by the same bowler.But captain Jason Holder (10 not out) joined Pollard to ensure there were no more alarms, as West Indies secured a morale-boosting win ahead of Sundays meeting with World Cup holders Australia.The Tri-series continues with West Indies v Australia live on Sky Sports 3 HD from 5.55pm on Sunday.
