Teixeira is out of the lineup Monday in Kansas City, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. Teixeira's right leg was hit by a pitch Saturday, but he was able to gut it out at first base for Sunday's entire 10-inning affair. Monday's absence is likely a scheduled day off, as he last sat out on Aug. 9. During that span, he reached base in 10 of 12 outings, batting .256 (11-for-43) with one homer, two RBI, five runs, and a 5:12 BB:K.
