Updating a previous report, Teixeira was held out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles due to a sore neck, Chad Jennings of The Journal News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees' matchup with a left-hander in Wade Miley along with the early start time for Sunday's game may have contributed to manager Joe Girardi's decision to hold out Teixeira, but the veteran is evidently not completely over the neck issues that plagued him earlier last week. It's not expected that he's dealing with a setback that's significant in nature, however, so the expectation is that Teixeira will return to the lineup during the team's upcoming series with the Blue Jays.
