Mark Teixeira Leaves Game After Hit By Pitch
Baltimore Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie beaned Mark Teixeira on the right elbow with a wild pitch in the second inning of the Yankees’ 11-7 victory yesterday.
Teixeira threw down his helmet and tromped around before walking off the field with trainer Steve Donohue. The Yankees said Teixeira sustained a right elbow contusion and would be re-evaluated Tuesday.
Tim Johnson, the Orioles team physician, examined Teixeira, who did not go for X-rays.
“It looks pretty nasty,” said Teixeira, who expects to be out a couple of days. “Tomorrow is going to be a very long treatment day.”

Teixeira should have charged the mound. I know I would have.
Teixeira is a good all around player. If only the braves could have him, then i’d really love his style of play.
I find it hard to believe that the pitcher meant to hit him. It seems more like an accident to me. It is spring traing, nobody tries to dot batters in spring training.
Do we know how serious it is or when he will be back in the lineup? Was anything broken?
It had to be an accident. Although I would like to see Teixerira go for xrays. It would suck if this affected the season.
Not the first time Teixerira gets hit. I like his reactions. Throwing down the bat
Go Teixerira!
