    New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez won't be suspended by Major League Baseball over his alleged involvement in illegal poker games, according to two reports.

    "Even if it is determined that he was [playing illegal poker], he will not be suspended at this time for this infraction," a source told the New York Post. "He will be warned again and not lightly."

    Major League Baseball investigators still want to speak with Rodriguez about his alleged involvement in the high-stakes games and are expected to do so "in the next couple of weeks," a source with close ties to Rodriguez told ESPNNewYork.com's Wallace Matthews on Thursday.

    That conversation is likely to occur in Tampa, Fla., where Rodriguez is rehabilitating his right knee, which was operated on July 11 to repair a torn meniscus. The source said "scheduling issues on both sides" are preventing the meeting from taking place sooner.
