    Yankees GM Brian Cashman thinks it is likely that first baseman Mark Teixeira will go on the disabled list again because of his injured right wrist.

    "I'm leaning, personally, toward a disabled list there," Cashman said on a conference call Monday.

    Cashman, who will make the decision, said that after Teixeira received a cortisone shot for the inflamed tendon in the wrist, the slugger would not play for the Yankees for about a week at minimum.

    "I think giving him the extra week will make a lot more sense," Cashman said.

    Cashman said Teixeira doesn't yet need season-ending surgery, but the GM wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility.
