Around the Empire: Yankees news - 8/19/15

Teixeira has a bone bruise, Bird on the big leagues, Mitchell feels lucky about the line drive, and #BAEROD.

Sports Illustrated | Wire: Mark Teixeira crushed a hard foul off his own leg in Monday night's game and had to depart. He was held out of the lineup yesterday with the diagnosis of a bone bruise, and Brian Cashman doesn't think it will require a DL stint. Nonetheless, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Yankees take it easy with him, especially given his heavy workload this year.

LoHud | Chad Jennings: Yankees veterans paused to talk about rookie Greg Bird and how he's handled himself in this first trip to the majors.
