Manager Joe Girardi said after Friday's game that Teixeira (knee) will return to the lineup Saturday, Wallace Matthews of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girardi did not say who would be removed from the roster to pave the way for Teixeira's return, but it appears Teixeira will play Saturday for the first time since June 3. Teixeira will need to be activated from the disabled list before he is able to play, but the Yankees figure to make that move at some point prior to first pitch Saturday afternoon.
