Is?Teixeira done for season?

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira aggravated his troublesome left calf on the final play of Saturday night?s 5-4 loss to the Orioles. And there?s some concern that it was more than just a tweak.

According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, Teixeira will undergo an MRI on the calf Monday and has already been ruled out for the Yankees? entire three-game series with the Red Sox that begins on Tuesday night. If the exam reveals another strain, it?s possible that he will be done for the rest of the regular season.

Steven Pearce, a .237/.309/.375 career hitter in the major leagues, is starting at first base in Sunday afternoon?s series finale with Baltimore. The Yanks are currently tied with the O?s atop the AL East.

Teixeira, 32, is batting .255/.336/.478 with 23 home runs and 81 RBI in 509 plate appearances this season.
