| News: Teixeira went 2 for 2 with three walks and a home run Monday in a loss to the Angels. | Impact: After hitting .212 through games on May 10, Teixeira is hitting .377 over the 15 games since and has four home runs in the last four games. He's 10 for his last 16 with nine RBIs.(STATS, 1:30pm) |

| News: Teixeira kept up his recent hot streak on Monday, going 2-for-2 with a homer in the Yankees' loss to the Angels on Monday. | Impact: Teixeira is 10 for his last 16 with four homers over his past four games.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira went 2-for-4 with an RBI double Sunday as the Yankees swept the A's. | Impact: Teixeira finished this weekend's three-game series batting .571 (8-for-14) with three homers and eight RBI, raising his average to a more respectable .254 for the season. While the recent power surge has placed him back on a 30-homer track -- something he has accomplished for eight seasons in a row -- don't expect his batting average to spike too much due to his .250 BABIP in 2012.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira hit a two-run homer and a solo shot among his career high-tying four hits to back CC Sabathia's sixth win of the year, and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 9-2 on Saturday for their fourth straight win to match a season best. | Impact: Teixeira is 6 for 10 with three homers and seven RBIs in the last two games.(STATS, 2:00pm) |

| News: Teixeira went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in Saturday's win over the A's. | Impact: There is no doubt Teixeira has enjoyed the Yankees' road series in Oakland, where he has gone 6-for-10 with three home runs and seven RBI in two games. The home runs will be there for Teixeira; however, his batting average will likely remain south of .260 for most of the season just as it has for the last two seasons.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run to help lead the Yankees past the A's 6-3 on Friday. | Impact: One day after Teixeira told reporters that he was tired of just trying to put the ball in play and was going back to swinging for the fences, he delivered. While being more aggressive at the plate sounds well and good, his batting average concerns will probably remain. He should hit his usual 30-plus home runs, but it will be tough to see his average going north of .260 anytime soon.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira (illness) went 1-for-4 with a double Monday as the Yankees fell to the Royals, 6-0. | Impact: It was good to see Teixeira back in the lineup Monday, but he did strike out two more times. He's hitting only .227 this season and while he's a notoriously slow starter, his batting average has decreased in each season since joining the Yankees in 2009. He still holds significant value due to his production numbers, but it looks like he will never be the high-average hitter again that he was early in his career.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira (illness) will start at first base in Monday's game against the Royals, according to the Yankees' official Twitter page. | Impact: Teixeira's illness has kept him out of the starting lineup since May 17, but he is apparently feeling good enough to at least start Monday's game. Teixeira will bat seventh Monday and may not be 100 percent just yet, but he should be available again Monday if you need him.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira (bronchial infection) pinch hit Sunday and reached on an error. He hit a hard shot down the third base line that was snared by Wilson Valdez, who then missed the mark trying to throw him out. | Impact: Teixeira was immediately pulled for a pinch runner, so while he's due back Monday, he might still be a little at-risk for removal late in games.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira (bronchial infection) is expected to return to the lineup Monday, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports. | Impact: Teixeira said he isn't back to full health, but the rest over the weekend helped him recover. The Yankees stay in town and begin a series with the Royals on Monday.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira (bronchial infection) remains out of the lineup Sunday, MLB.com reports. | Impact: Yankees manager Joe Girardi wanted to give Teixeira an extended rest to recover from the illness that's bothered him all season. "It's not easy, but you have to sometimes take care of yourself and try to get better because it's a long season," said Teixeira, whose voice is now hoarse from extended coughing fits. "I want to make sure that I'm good for the long run."(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira is out of the New York Yankees' lineup again, given another day off to try and shake the nasty cough that's been bothering him all season. | Impact: The All-Star first baseman has been plagued by a lingering cough since early April and has tried just about everything to get rid of it. He saw a chest specialist, who assured him it's nothing serious, and was given medicine that didn't seem to work. New York manager Joe Girardi said he might give the switch-hitter another day off Sunday, too.(STATS, 12:12pm) |

| News: Teixeira (illness) is out of the lineup again Saturday. | Impact: Teixeira missed Friday's game because of a bronchial condition he's been suffering from for a while now. It would thought he could be back Saturday, but he'll take another day to hopefully get healthy.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira is not in the starting lineup Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. | Impact: Nick Swisher will move in to play first base while Teixeira rests. Unless his bronchial condition has gotten worse, he should be back in the lineup Saturday.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Teixeira went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Toronto, and is continuing to fight the cough that has bothered him for over a month, the New York Post reports. | Impact: "I don't know if a day off would help," said Teixeira. "Eventually it will go away. Joe [Girardi] and I will talk about it and see if a day off helps." Teixeira has always been a slow starter, but the bronchial condition he's dealing with appears to be really holding him back this year.(RotoWire, ) |
