Youkilis & Teixeira Could Both Return On Friday

Mark Teixeira has missed the entire season to date with a wrist shear tendon injury and Kevin Youkilis has missed more than a month with a back injury but both could be back this Friday according to manager Joe Girardi. Both Mark and Youk will head to Trenton and start a rehab assignment tomorrow and could be back as early as Friday but neither are expected to stay in the minors long if the assignments go past Friday.
