The Yankees were without Mark Teixiera since the end of August and were barely hanging on to their division lead.This past Saturday, he returned to the Yankees lineup, but only for one day, as he will be sidelined again with the same calf injury. After irritating it this past weekend, Texiera will be out for another 10-14 days, according to Eric Boland of ESPN.
Yankees announce MRI showed "irritation" of Tex's calf strain and he'll be out "10-14 days." Also, Melky Mesa to be called up— Erik Boland (@eboland11) September 10, ...
The Yankees were "not guilty as charged" in Saturday's game. Or maybe one should say that this was true for a particular Yankee. But they paid the price, not only within the game itself, but probably for the rest of the season.The "charge" was that Mark Teixiera made the third out at first in the bottom of the ninth inning. An instant replay showed him to be "safe." But the umpire's ruling that he was out stood, meaning that a run that had crossed the plate was not counting as ...
When we last saw Mark Teixeira in action, he got robbed by Jerry Meals on a close play at first base in the ninth inning of the New York Yankees' 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.It's now looking like that play could rob Teixeira of the rest of his season.As reported by Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com, Teixeira aggravated an injury to his left calf when he busted down the line in the ninth inning on Saturday night. Yankees manager Joe Girardi admitted that there is some concern ...
Baltimore Orioles' manager Buck Showalter would know better than anyone what all of the enthusiasm and excitement at Camden Yards late this summer feels like. After all, he lived it in a previous life—ironically enough with his now-biggest rival, the New York Yankees— during his managerial tenure in the Bronx from 1992-1995.Sitting in the gorgeous confines of Oriole Park this past weekend amidst the palpable excitement and unmitigated roars from the home crowd, it was hard not to reminisce about that special 1995 season when the New York Yankees reinvigorated the life of ...
With a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday, for the third time in a week, the Baltimore Orioles pulled even with the Yankees in the American League East standings. On Sunday, for the third time in a week, the Yankees reclaimed sole possession of first place in the AL East, this time by thumping the Orioles, 13-3, to close out their season series with the Birds. After 18 mostly hard-fought games with the revitalized Orioles, the Yankees finished the season 9-9 against their once-again rivals and have ...
Oriole Park at Camden Yards was an inspiring sight last weekend. Under an umbrella of mostly beautiful weather, a nice mix of Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees fans filled this park to capacity. A sea of orange blended with pinstripes as the Orioles and the Yankees grappled for control of the American League East division. For a Yankees team marred by injury and pitching issues, this series was a test of will to hang on to the top of the perch. For the Orioles, this series was a true ...

Something that may be lost in the controversial ending to Saturday night’s 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles is the continued slide of All-Star center fielder Curtis Granderson. Granderson entered Saturday’s game as a pinch-hitter for Andruw Jones in the sixth inning and struck out against Baltimore reliever Darren O’Day with the tying run at second base in what was then a 3-2 game. He stayed in the game to play center field and got another opportunity with a runner in scoring position in the top of the eighth inning. ...
The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles have been engaged in a playoff-like series this weekend at Camden Yards with both teams battling back and forth in the series.While that has been going on, Andy Pettitte has continued to get himself ready with his rehab work on his fractured fibula and continues the good news with his progress.On Saturday, Pettitte threw another simulated game at Camden Yards, throwing 46 pitches in three simulated innings and looking sharp, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York.Because the Yankees Triple-A and Double-A ...
Steve Pearce has played for three different teams this season; four, if you count the fact that he was a Yankee for two separate stretches.He was a cast-off from the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2011, easily his worst season. But even in his better years, he never distinguished himself in black and gold.Pearce was signed as a minor-league free agent at the beginning of the season by the Yankees, sold to the Baltimore Orioles in early June, claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros in late July, and re-sold to the ...
