The Yankees screwed up the Mark Teixeira injury

Yesterday we got the bad news that Mark Teixeira will be out for the remainder of the season after yet another test revealed he had a fracture in his shin. It's been nearly a month since the Yankees first baseman fouled a pitch off his leg that caused him to play in just two games since that August 17 contest. Originally believed to be a bone bruise, it felt like the team consistently had no answers for why Tex's leg wasn't getting any better, and now that we know the truth, I have to at least ask why we didn't find out about this sooner.
