Teixeira (leg) will be on crutches for a few more days.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira received generally positive news in his follow-up with doctors on Tuesday, as the diagnosis of a bone bruise (and no evidence of a fracture) was confirmed via additional testing. The Yankees want him to stay off the leg for a few more days, though, putting a return before the end of the week in question. Greg Bird is starting at first base again Tuesday.
