Yankees' Alex Rodriguez: To disabled list with hamstring injury

Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Analysis:

Rodriguez was removed from Tuesday's game after pulling up while running to first base and an MRI on Wednesday revealed a strain. The severity of the strain remains uncertain, but it's enough to put him on the disabled list. He's hitting for a .194/.275/.444 slash line and finally seemed to be putting it together of late, hitting .353 over the past week with three home runs and six RBI. He's replaced by James Pazos, a relief pitcher, on the major league roster.
