Teixeira went 2-for-4 with his first homer and four RBI in Wednesday's 16-6 thrashing of the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Like many of the Yankees' veterans, he came out of this game early once it was well in hand. After bouncing back with 31 homers in only 111 games last year, Teixeira's reestablished himself as an excellent source of power; at this point, his potential for injury is the only thing standing in his way. Of course, staying healthy has been the greatest challenge for Teixeira, as he hasn't played in more than 123 games since 2011.
