Mark Teixeira makes his return to the Bronx on Saturday from being on the disabled list since June 4 due to a partially torn cartilage in his right knee. As we know, Teixeira opted for cortisone injections in the knee, instead of surgery, so that he could rehab and return to the Yankees in 2016.
Today the @Yankees reinstated 1B Mark Teixeira from the 15-day D.L. and designated INF Ike Davis for assignment.
Ike Davis – we hardly knew ya. After going 3-14 with the Yankees, Davis was designated for assignment and will ultimately land with the Rail Riders if no team takes on the remainder of his $1.
