Mark Teixeira

Mark Teixeira (rest) not in Yankees lineup Wednesday

Mark Teixeira is not in the Yankees lineup tonight. He left the game last night shortly after getting hit by a pitch, but this a planned day off according Joe Girardi. The left-handed Garrett Jones will take over at first base and bat seventh against the Rangers.

What It Means:

Garrett Jones has .279 wOBA and -0.42 nERD in 148 plate appearances this season. He is projected to only rank above three other first basemen in terms of daily fantasy points tonight, per our algorithm. In fact our projections have him regressing to a .268 wOBA for the remainder of the season.
