Yankees' Mark Teixeira: Out with sore neck

Teixeira was held out of Saturday's lineup with neck soreness, LoHud.com reports.

Teixeira also missed Friday's tilt with the lingering issue, but he was able to enter Saturday's game as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning. Heading into the final week of his major league career, the 36-year-old should get back into the lineup a few times before he hangs it up, but it's possible the Yankees will play it cautiously and give the soreness in Teixeira's neck an extra day or two to completely subside.
