"It's been lingering for a week. It's too long for me," Teixeira said. "I hate missing any time. I've had to battle through it. Hopefully this will put it over the top."I don't know if it's because of the wrist but he looks terrible at the plate, hopefully the shot does something to help him.

Teixeira Gets Cortisone Shot For Sore Wrist
Following today's embarrassing opening day loss to the Cleveland Indians, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira had a cortisone shot in his left wrist, hoping it would help relieve the pain.

The wrist is bothering him with his right handed swing.
We really need to get him going. Swish and Cano can't carry us all year. (or at least until A-Rod is back)

You're right Nyyfn.
And yes Anon, it is bothering him more when he swings right-handed.
Greg! How was the game? I know they got creamed but did you enjoy your first time in the Stadium?
Hey Yankeeboy,
The first six innings were very enjoyable, but once the Indians started pounding Marte and Veras my mood quickly turned. It's a very nice stadium, though. Hopefully I'll see them pick up a win the next time I'm there on Monday.
I found out today that I'll be there Monday too! Right field seats right above the Utz sign, section 205.
Can't wait to see the Giambino back.
someone give Matsui a shot of something, this guy was supposed to be something special, he's been another waste of cash & roster spot in my mind, Thank god this is the final yr on his contract....
matsui has been struggling mario, but wasnt matsui on base three times today? lets hope hes turning the corner
about TEX, greg, of course he looks terrible at the plate bc of it. if you were at the game today i have to excuse you for not noticing it, but after every swing today he was shaking his left wrist and wincing in pain. the shot will definitely help, but i cant help but think his wrist isnt going to get any better if he plays with it injured
Yea I was there today so I didn't see Tex doing that. I'm not bashing the guy, I just hope he can get himself healthy and start hitting, because the Yankees need it.
The great thing about Teixeira is that even when he's not hitting he's a vacuum in the field.
yea.. tex will be fine. the shot should help.. i'm calling a homer from him tomorrow actually.. but the most important thing is a win, and i would love to see the yanks bounce back quickly tomorrow and jump out to a lead early for joba
CALLED IT.. LOL.. an absolute bomb by TEX
Nicely done.
