Mark Teixeira is not expected to play Sunday and his status beyond that is unclear after he aggravated his left calf in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.
Teixeira hurt himself on the final play of the game when he was erroneously called out at first base while trying to beat out a double play ball. "We'll see how it feels, but I'm probably not going to be able to go," Teixeira said Saturday. "We'll see in the morning. If you wait until you're 100 percent to play, you might not be able to play. I took 10 games off and felt like I was good enough. We have an off day (Monday), so we'll see where we are. I don't want to make any predictions." Nick Swisher and Steve Pearce will see time at first base while Teixeira is out.
