NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Yankees' American League MVP Alex Rodriguez has been ruled out of this weekend's "Subway Series" against the New York Mets.

The third baseman has been sidelined since April 30 after he aggravated an injury to his right quadriceps.

The Yankees had hoped to reintroduce him in training games this week before a possible return against the Mets but ruled him out after a test on Monday.

"It is still not completely healed," manager Joe Girardi told the team's Web site (newyork.yankees.mlb.com)

"It's still not where it needs to be. We can't afford to have him come back again and lose him for six weeks," he added.
