Teixeira (foot) is not in the lineup Monday against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira took a foul ball off the foot Saturday, and Monday will mark his second consecutive absence. A CT scan revealed no structural damage, but the first baseman could still miss another day or two while battling residual soreness. Teixeira, himself, said he's feeling better Monday and hopes to return to the lineup Tuesday.

Teixeira's (foot) CT scan showed no structural damage, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira was hit in the foot by a foul ball in Sunday's matchup. Now that his X-rays and CT scans have both returned negative, it's clear that Teixeira's foot issue isn't serious, and he should be able to return soon. There will likely be more updates on his status before Monday's game against the Orioles.

Teixeira's (foot) results from the X-ray on his foot Saturday returned negative, but the team has sent him for a CT scan and is awaiting the results, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems a bit of a curious situation that the team wasn't satisfied with the results of the X-ray, and it could suggest that they believe there could be an underlying issue. More on the situation should unfold following the return of the CT scan, but there's nothing indicating the issue is serious at this point.

Teixeira is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira took a foul ball off his foot in Saturday's matchup, and although the X-rays came back negative, it's not too surprising to see the veteran sit this one out as a precaution. Even though nothing serious has been reported, consider Teixeira day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against Baltimore. In the meantime, Rob Refsnyder will man first base in his stead.

X-rays on Teixeira's left foot Saturday came back negative, the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira fouled a ball off his foot in the fourth inning of Saturday's contest and appeared to be dealing with some pain, but he was able to finish the at bat and stay in for the remainder of the game. Despite the fact that he avoided anything overly serious, it wouldn't be surprising if the first baseman -- who is also planning to play through knee pain for the rest of the season -- gets some rest in the next day or two.

Teixeira will need to miss about one game every week moving forward, due to his knee, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira was removed from Friday's game in the sixth inning after feeling pain in his knee. He told manager Joe Girardi that the knee "acted up during batting practice and was much worse in the middle of the game." The plan is for Teixeira to take a day off Saturday, but could return to the lineup Sunday before the All-Star break begins.

Teixeira was lifted early from Friday's tilt due to his lingering knee issue, the Westchester Journal News reports.
EDGE Analysis
All indications appear to be that this was just a precaution, as the game was already well out of hand in the sixth inning when Teixeira came out. Manager Joe Girardi said it was unlikely his first baseman would play Saturday, as Teixeira will frequently rest as he plays the remainder of the season with torn cartilage in his knee.

Teixeira is out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh off hitting his 400th and 401st career home runs Sunday against the Padres, Teixeira will be granted a rest day for the Fourth of July day game. With the slugger sitting out, Rob Refsnyder will handle duties at first base.

Teixeira (knee) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Teixeira has been battling off-and-on knee soreness, and he took the day off Wednesday for maintenance, which could be a semi-regular occurrence going forward. The veteran is back in the lineup Thursday, however, manning his usual post at first base and batting fifth in the order behind cleanup man Brian McCan.

Teixeira's knee is still a little sore, but he should be back in the lineup Thursday, ESPN's Wallace Matthews reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was held out of Wednesday's lineup as a joint decision between Teixeira and manager Joe Girardi. It sounds like he will need semi-regular days off going forward in order to manage the knee, or in Teixeira's words, he'll "be on the operating table." Rob Refsnyder has been the go-to fill-in at first base, and will start there and bat ninth Wednesday.
