Mark Teixeira (foot) sits for Yankees on Tuesday
New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira (foot) is absent from the team's lineup again Tuesday versus the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Teixeira fouled a ball off his foot on Friday and continues to feel some level of discomfort. It's possible he'll sit out the entire series against the Orioles. Rob Refsnyder -- he of the stunningly poor .299 wOBA -- will continue to fill in at first base for now.
Believe it or not, Teixeira's .258 wOBA is even worse. He's slashing just .186/.263/.305 with seven home runs in 251 plate appearances on the year. Our models project him to hit .215/.298/.367 with six home runs and a .291 wOBA over the rest of the season.
