Mark Teixeira

Yankees' Mark Teixeira riding pine against Seattle

New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is not in Monday's lineup versus the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

The youth movement continues on in New York. Tyler Austin is starting at first and hitting ninth against Seattle right-hander Cody Martin.

Teixeira has suffered from some severe regression this season, seeing his slash fall to .197/.285/.331 (344 plate appearances), after hitting .255/.357/.548 (462 plate appearances) last season during a 2015 campaign that earned him an All-Star bid. He slugged 31 jacks and 79 RBI's last year, but our models currently project him to finish 2016 with 14 homers and 40 RBI's.
