New York -- New York Yankees superstar third baseman Alex Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained left calf.
The move was made after Rodriguez missed the Yankees' 9-5 Saturday win over Seattle. He had earlier missed three games, then returned to the lineup as the designated hitter for Friday's series opener but left after just one at-bat with tightness in his calf.
Rodriguez has hit 21 home runs and knocked in 97 this season while batting .265 through 112 games.
Eduardo Nunez started in place of Rodriguez Saturday and recorded his first hit with an RBI single in a three-run seventh inning.

New York -- New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez became the seventh player in Major League Baseball history to hit 600 home runs with a first-inning shot Wednesday.
Rodriguez hit a 2-0 offered from Toronto's Shaun Marcum to dead center in Yankee Stadium in reaching the milestone. He hit home run No. 599 July 22 against Kansas City.
He is the youngest player to reach the 600 home run mark. He turned 35 last week. Babe Ruth hit his 600th when he was 36.
Rodriguez hit his first home run in 1995 while with the Seattle Mariners. He also played for Texas before joining the Yankees. He's in his 17th major league season.

New York -- Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th career homer and Phil Hughes won his 13th game Wednesday in the New York Yankees' 5-1 victory over Toronto.
Rodriguez had to wait 59 plate appearances between homers Nos. 599 and 600 before connecting in the first inning off Toronto's Shaun Marcum, also snapping an 0-for-17 streak in the process.
The clout made Rodriguez the youngest player to reach 600 home runs at age 35. Yankees legend Babe Ruth hit his at age 36.
