A-Rod Placed On 15-Day DL

Alex Rodriguez's hasty pass patterns across a Chicago outfield were enough to convince the Yankees that the defending American League Most Valuable Player was healthy enough to return to their lineup.

Several days and an aggravation later, it appears that A-Rod rushed his right quadriceps too soon. Rodriguez was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain on Tuesday and will spend at least 15 days on the disabled list, the latest in a sequence of maladies plaguing the Yankees.
"It's not the news I was looking for tonight," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said following New York's 6-4 loss to the Tigers. "You have to deal with it. This is baseball and nobody is going to feel sorry for you. You've got a couple of guys banged up and you just press on."
Rodriguez, 32, was diagnosed after an MRI was taken at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. He had played in four consecutive games after jumping back into the lineup on Friday against the White Sox, but was removed for a pinch-hitter on Monday at Chicago and said there was "no way" he could play on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
