Teixeira (finger) said he felt "not bad" in his return to the starting lineup Sunday after missing three games with an injury to his pinky finger, the NY Post reports. Teixeira said he's still dealing with some pain in his finger, but it feels a lot better than it initially did. He made it through the full game on Sunday, and added a hit, so he likely won't miss any more time with this injury, but his status is still worth monitoring until the finger fully heals.
