League notes

A-Rod won't play this week

• Alex Rodriguez's strained right quadriceps will keep him from playing this week, causing the AL MVP to miss the Yankees' interleague series against the Mets this weekend. The third baseman was eligible to come off the disabled list Thursday.

• Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal will be placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a lower back strain that has caused him to miss Los Angeles' past five games.
