Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com reports that a return in late May for Mark Teixeira (wrist) is the "best case," but June "seems more likely." Teixeira is currently limited to dry swings, and it's uncertain when he'll be cleared to hit off a tee or take soft tosses. Ultimately, his status will continue to be cloudy until we see how his wrist responds to increased activity. There's also no guarantee that Teixeira will be able to avoid surgery over the long haul.
