Teixeira (knee) is on track to be activated from the 15-day DL on Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Joe Girardi said Sunday that the Yankees' tentative plan for Teixeira is to have him head out on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre from Tuesday through Thursday. He'll then rest Friday, and if he experiences no lingering discomfort with his knee, Teixeira will come off the DL on Saturday. The Yankees have been using a platoon of Ike Davis and Rob Refsnyder at first base of late, but Teixeira should take back full-time duties at the position once he returns.
