Alex Rodriguez left today's game with a strained right quadriceps (go figure); the Yankees said he is day-to-day.
Rodriguez let up while running to first base as Bobby Abreu was forced out at second on his sixth-inning grounder. A pitch later, manager Joe Girardi and assistant trainer Steve Donohue went to first base to check on A-Rod, and he was removed from the game.
A strained left quadriceps recently forced teammate Derek Jeter to miss six games.
