NEW YORK -- A CT scan taken Sunday on Mark Teixeira's left foot came back negative, and the first baseman was held out of the Yankees' starting lineup.
Teixeira fouled a ball of his foot in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Sox, and even though an X-ray taken postgame came back negative, the team sent him out for the additional test after he woke up sore in the morning.
Last season, Teixeira fractured his right shin on a foul ball on Aug. 17. Teixeira appeared in two more games, but he was then placed on the 15-day disabled list with what was originally called a bone bruise.
