How long is Teixeira going to be out?

[Big Thyme]

Does anyone know how long Tex is going to sit? There are some playable 3rd basemen available: A. Ramirez and E. Hinske. I would have to drop Bradley to get one, but that would not damage my outfield at all. Any info?

i think it was just a day off but i'd drop bradley to get ramirez anyways

Just a day off, or at least I haven't heard otherwise. I'd definitely drop Bradley for Aram though. Can't believe he's availiable.

As the Dallas Morning News reports, "1B Mark Teixeira was not in the starting lineup Tuesday because of a strained oblique muscle on his left side. Manager Buck Showalter said Teixeira could have played but he wants to be careful with the situation, which can turn into a nagging injury." -newsource1

I think he will be back in the lineup today

Thanks for the article JB!

Thanks for the info guys. The reason that I don't want to pick up Ramirez is because I have A-Rod, and Reyes is available. I have Boone on 2nd, so when A-Rod becomes 3rd base eligible and Reyes becomes 2nd eligible (fingers crossed), I will have 2nd, 3rd, and SS two-deep. Makes sense right? Should I go ahead and pick up Reyes before I miss out? Again, thanks for the input fellas.

ESPN insider info is saying he is day to day

Teixeira (strained oblique) is being listed as day-to-day, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

SPIN: Oblique/rib cage injuries can linger for a bit so this is something that could be a nuisance for the next few days.
