KANSAS CITY — Mark Teixeira hopes to be in the lineup Tuesday night after leaving Sunday’s game with a bruised right big toe.
Teixeira was hit on the foot by an Edinson Volquez pitch in the fourth inning, and although he remained in the game and hit again in the seventh, he was lifted in the bottom of the inning for Garrett Jones.
“Hopefully it’s day to day,” Joe Girardi said. “He’s got a bruise, so we kind of have to see how he feels Tuesday. He hit after it and played defense after it, but I just felt it was best to get him out.
