Mark Teixeira received a cortisone shot to relieve neck spasms that have been nagging him since early May, when many dives in the dirt vs. Baltimore caused the discomfort. He is expected to miss a few days, but a stint on the DL is not being considered at the point.
Fantasy Impact
Teixeira has been awful this year, so the Yankees would be smart to let him recover fully before throwing him back out there. While he did get off to a fast start last year before his injury, he has historically heated up with the weather. He has 40 homer power when healthy, so don't make him a distant memory.
