Teixeira (neck) could return to the lineup Monday at the earliest, Pete Caldera of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran first baseman has been out of the lineup since Wednesday due to neck spasms, but he has reportedly been improving during his downtime and could be nearing a return. Still, it appears that he'll sit out for at least Sunday's series finale in Tampa Bay before potentially getting back into the lineup Monday. Dustin Ackley will likely continue to start at first base while Teixeira is sidelined.
