Teixeira out at least two more weeks
The deep bone bruise that has hobbled New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira for more than two weeks is not improving, and his return to the lineup is not expected for at least two weeks, according to MLB.com.
Teixeira was examined Tuesday by team doctor Christopher Ahmad in New York, where a new MRI exam revealed that the bone bruise in his right shin was more significant than initially thought. General manager Brian Cashman said that the tests showed no stress fracture and that the Yankees expect Teixeira to return this season.
