    Mark Teixeira had X-rays taken on his right knee Friday, but the results were negative, and the New York Yankees' first baseman hopes he can return to the lineup on Sunday."I feel really good, hopefully I'm playing tomorrow," said Teixeira, who missed his second straight game on Saturday with a bruised right knee. "I feel really good about the steps we made today."Teixeria received a "ton" of treatment on Saturday, but said he was able to work out and take some swings."I put myself through a little bit of jogging," Teixeira said. "(My knee) is still a little sore but to the point where I think I should be able to play tomorrow."If I make as good improvements tomorrow as I made today, I should be OK."
