Teixeira (neck) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
This was to be expected, as Teixeira received a cortisone shot Monday to treat his ailing neck. It typically takes a few days for cortisone shots to take effect, but it sounds like Teixeira has a chance to return for Wednesday's series finale. Garrett Jones will get the start at first base and bat sixth Tuesday.
