Teixeira Likely To Miss The Rangers Series w/ Injury

Mark Teixeira is likely to miss the next three to four games, or basically the entire upcoming series with the Texas Rangers, with a mild lower lat strain. Teixeira had an MRI today and is listed as day to day with the lower back strain. Teix has been fighting back pain since the series last month with the Oakland Athletics but apparently the pain got worse and now he will sit out close to a week.

Hopefully this is a couple day thing and Teix can be back in action against the Toronto Blue Jays later in the week.
