Teixeira's Pinky Should Allow Him To Play Today

Mark Teixeira and his injured pinky that required three stitches should allow him to get into the lineup today finally after missing the last three games. It's a game a stitch apparently. Teixeira has had trouble gripping a bat over the past couple of days and had a slight sprain in the pinky. The Yankees offense has done well without him and the defense hasn't skipped a beat but it's still good to have the guy in the lineup and manning first base just to be sure.
