George A. King III of the New York Post reports that Mark Teixeira (wrist) isn't likely to play in Grapefruit League games until March 3, at the earliest. Teixeira has been hitting off a batting tee and take batting practice off coaches, but he estimated Thursday that he's "probably a week to 10 days" away from live batting practice. The first baseman hasn't had any setbacks since last July's right wrist surgery and still will have plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day. Teixeira has admitted that he'll probably have to deal with tightness in his wrist for a while.
