Pinch-hitting for Eric Chavez in the ninth and facing Aroldis Chapman, Teixeira reached first on Wilson Valdez's throwing error. He was then pulled for a pinch-runner. Both Teixeira and skipper Joe Girardi said the veteran would start on Monday. "Not 100 percent, obviously, but I think it did some good and I'm looking forward to playing tomorrow," Teixeira said. "I think at this point we know we're going to have to deal with it for a little while. The days off definitely helped, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow, but I'm just going to have to play through a little discomfort for a while." Teixeira has been battling the issue all season.

Teixeira has been battling the issue all season, and the team is unsure how to treat it and doesn't know when he'll be 100 percent again. "We've tried everything," Teixeira said. "That's why rest is the last effort here. I've taken more medicine than I'd liked to. I think I'm done with that option. Rest is kind of the final option."
