An MRI on Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira revealed mild inflammation in his right wrist, but no structural damage, manager Joe Girardi said on Sunday, calling it the best-case scenario.
Teixeira missed the first two months of the season with a partially torn sheath, and was feared to have re-injured the sheath.
Girardi said Teixeira will be unavailable on Tuesday after the teams off day on Monday, and could land on the disabled list.
In 15 games since his return, the lifetime .278 hitter with a .894 career OPS is batting .151 with a .609 OPS, including 19 strikeouts in 53 at-bats. He left Saturdays game in the fourth inning and received a cortisone shot on Sunday.
From The Star-Ledgers Andy McCullough:
Thats a good thing, Girardi said before Sundays game against the Angels. If he was to re-tear it, thatd probably be it for the season. Were looking at some inflammation. Well have to see how they think its going to take to get out.
It would be understandable if the Yankees placed Teixeira on the disabled list. Hitting coach Kevin Long revealed on Saturday night that Teixeira has been unable to complete his regular pre-game hitting off a tee due to discomfort with his left-handed swing. He also referred to Teixeira as a shell of himself, with only three hits in 35 at-bats against right-handed pitchers.
