Jeter To Return

Derek Jeter is expecte to return to the Yankees lineup on Monday at Cleveland, the start of a 3-game series. He's still 6 hits short of 3,000. The Yankees obviously want Jeter to reach the milestone in the Bronx.
Following Cleveland, the Yankees play a four game series at home against the Rays, July 7-10. He should get his 3,000th hit in that series.
But suppose he gets 5-knocks in the first two game in Cleveland. Does Joe Girardi sit Jeter in game 3 of that series so he can get the hit at home? These games are important. Would that mean putting personal glory ahead of the team? Would Jeter let Girardi sit him.
Since Jeter's calf injury on June 13th, the Yankees have gone 12-3, which would make it easier for Girardi if he decides to sit Jeter.
