Derek Jeter will not play shortstop for the Yankees before this weekend at the earliest. Could Alex Rodriguez? Manager Joe Girardi said on Tuesday that the Yankees have not discussed using Rodriguez at shortstop while Jeter mends his strained upper left quadriceps, but the idea has not been explicitly ruled out, depending on how much action Jeter is expected to miss.
