Yankees: Teixeira Says Injury More Serious Than First Thought

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira's injury is now being reported to be a partially torn tendon sheath, rather than a wrist strain, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Teixeira was originally believed to miss at least the first month of the season. However, due to the severity of his latest diagnosis, the former all-star may require season-ending surgery.
