Teixeira, the owner of the eighth best OPS in the American League (.952), was 0-for-2 against the Royals on Sunday. He also left with a toe injury, but X-rays were negative and he should play Tuesday against the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Even with the 0-for-2, Teixeira still has had 13 hits in his past 10 games and has four extra base hits over that time span. Teixeira's 11 home runs and 28 RBI put him well on his way to 30 home runs and 100 RBI, benchmarks that he has not reached since 2011. Teixeira is 5-for-16 with two doubles, a home run, and three RBI against Tuesday's starter for the Nationals, Gio Gonzalez.
