BALTIMORE (AP) — Alex Rodriguez won't be around in the next two weeks to help the New York Yankees attempt to get out of last place in the AL East.
Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day list Wednesday with a strained right hamstring.
The injury occurred Tuesday night while Rodriguez was running out a grounder in the fifth inning of a 4-1 loss to the Orioles.
Asked Wednesday to describe the extent of the injury, Rodriguez replied, "Our doctors in New York are going over it. I'm going on the DL, so it's serious enough.
