Jeter, A-Rod out

NEW York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and third baseman Alex Rodriguez have decided not to play in this week's All-Star game to rest from injuries, the team said on Friday.

Jeter, who is two hits away from reaching the milestone of 3,000 career hits, wants to protect a calf muscle injury that sidelined for three weeks, while A-Rod underwent tests on Friday for a sore right knee. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who has been resting a sore triceps muscle in his pitching arm, has also announced he would be missing the Mid-Summer Classic in Phoenix. Also missing will be Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino, who was put on the 15-day disabled list because of a thumb injury on Friday.
