Mark Teixeira could return soon

Mark Teixeira, who has 23 homers and 81 RBI, is in Tampa rehabbing from a left calf strain that has caused him to miss the last 13 games, but he could rejoin the club on the seven-game trip to Minnesota and Toronto.

“I hope so,” manager Joe Girardi said. “It all depends what happens in Florida and how well it goes. He’s had more time than the last time [he sat] . . . he feels pretty good.”
