MLB talks to A-Rod over poker playing allegations

"Representatives of our office met with Alex Rodriguez today and Mr. Rodriguez answered all of our questions," MLB told Reuters in an email. "Beyond that, we are not going to go into detail on our investigation."

Earlier this month, MLB said it had taken the allegations "very seriously" and that the Commissioner's Office would interview Rodriguez during its investigation.

Rodriguez was warned in 2005 about gambling in underground poker clubs by the Yankees and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, both of whom were concerned about possible involvement with gamblers who might be betting on baseball games.

The Yankees All-Star third baseman, who had knee surgery last month, returned to the team's lineup for Thursday's 22-9 rout of the Oakland Athletics, going 2-for-4 with two walks and three runs scored.
