Here comes the first big "uh-oh" of Yankees rumors for the 2014 Major League Baseball season.
After leaving the New York Yankees' 7-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in the second inning with a strained right hamstring suffered after attempting to chase down a foul ball, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira isn't feeling good about his potential prognosis.
Per Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork.com, Teixeira stated after the game that he was not "super optimistic" about an upcoming MRI when the Yankees return to New York on Monday.
"I definitely don't want to go on the DL. I'm really hoping that tomorrow morning, I wake up, we go through some stuff with the doctors and it feels good. But we'll see."
Kelly Johnson is expected to replace the Yankees slugger for the final two games of this weekend's series in Toronto.
Teixeira has been bitten hard by the injury bug over the past two seasons, appearing in just 15 games in 2013 due to tearing a tendon sheath in his right wrist -- forcing him into surgery.
The two-time Major League Baseball All-Star contributed an RBI single in the first inning on Friday before the injury. He is currently 3-for-12 on the young season with two RBIs.
