NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has left New York’s game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night after just three innings of play.
The Yankees have not given a reason for Teixeira’s removal after he tapped out to the pitcher in the third inning.
Teixeira was grazed on his leg by a pitch from Brian Matusz in the first and lunged awkwardly to catch a pickoff attempt from catcher Francisco Cervelli in the top of the third.
Juan Miranda took over at first base in the fourth.
