General manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that it will be "weeks" before Teixeira (leg) is able to play again for the Yankees, ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews reports.

EDGE Analysis

This quote confirms that Teixeira, who is still on crutches, will have a hard time contributing much for New York or for his fantasy owners over the final month of the season. Greg Bird will be the Yankees' starting first baseman while Teixeira remains out.

Teixeira (leg) will be on crutches for a few more days.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira received generally positive news in his follow-up with doctors on Tuesday, as the diagnosis of a bone bruise (and no evidence of a fracture) was confirmed via additional testing. The Yankees want him to stay off the leg for a few more days, though, putting a return before the end of the week in question. Greg Bird is starting at first base again Tuesday.

Teixeira (leg) is not in the lineup Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira is not with the team in Boston, and he's back in New York for additional testing on the bone bruise in his leg, which has not made significant progress. As a result, Greg Bird will continue to start in his place, and he'll bat seventh in Tuesday's order.

Teixeira (bruised shin) has gone back to New York for further testing as his injury doesn't seem to be getting better, NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reportedly, Teixeira will not play in the Yankees' three-game series in Boston. Because it's now roster callup season, the Yankees have little urgency to make a DL decision on Teixeira, so owners will have to just bide their time and wait for the test results.

Teixeira (leg) will not be in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Red Sox, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees manager Joe Girardi relayed after Sunday's 20-6 trouncing of the Braves that Teixeira was feeling "a little better," but he needs more time for his bruised shin to heal up. As a result, Greg Bird should remain the Yankees' top option for starts at first base, though Alex Rodriguez could get a look at the position at some point during the series with two left-handers on tap to start for Boston.

Teixeira (leg) remains out of the starting lineup Sunday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

With rosters expanding Tuesday, Teixeira could presumably avoid the DL and end up in a state of day-to-day to limbo as the calendar flips to September. Greg Bird will once again start in his place Sunday afternoon.

Teixeira (leg) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's absence marks Teixeira's third straight and 10th in the team's last 11 games. Fortunately for the Yankees, they have a strong fill-in option at first base in Greg Bird and some decent bench options, so they can afford to just ride this out with Teixeira with rosters set to expand Tuesday. That said, it's uncertain when he may be well enough to return to the lineup.

Teixeira (leg) is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira indicated that he still couldn't run at full speed and expects to undergo further testing. The first baseman has now been held out of the lineup eight times in the last nine games after suffering a deep bone bruise, but he was able to serve as a pinch-hitter in Wednesday's contest.

Teixeira (leg) grounded out as a pinch-hitter in Wednesday's loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

It's an encouraging sign that he was able to come off the bench Wednesday, and Teixeira is hopeful that Thursday's day off will enable him to return to the lineup Friday, according to Jack Curry of YES Network.

Teixeira's absence from the lineup is indeed related to the prior leg issue, Sweeny Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira has been out of the lineup for a long period of time due to the bone bruise, and it appears the issue acted up again following his return to the lineup Tuesday. Manager Joe Girardi said he hopes that he'll return to the lineup Friday, but it likely will come down to how well he feels at that time.
