Teixeira is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira has gone 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over the past two games to drop his average down to .202 and has yet to receive a day off this season, so he'll head to the bench Tuesday for a regular day of rest. Dustin Ackley will fill in at first base in his stead against Kris Medlen.
