Tejada, who entered the game when Asdrubal Cabrera was forced out with an injury, homered Thursday against the Cardinals. He could be in line for more time if Cabrera is sidelined due to the injury.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera is due for an MRI on his sore left knee. If the scan shows anything other than some soreness, he could miss some time. Tejada and Wilmer Flores would split time at the position. There has been some rumblings that Tejada could be in danger of getting waived or traded due to his $3 million salary, but any extended absence by Cabrera could keep Tejada in New York.
