Yankees Gm says wrist pain lingering for 1B Mark Teixeira

[Sportsguy9695]

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is still feeling pain in his damaged right wrist more than a week after receiving a cortisone shot intended to soothe the discomfort from a partially torn tendon sheath, again raising the possibility that Teixeira will need to undergo season-ending surgery.

"He's still experiencing soreness," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com on Monday. "We're trying to work through it."

Cashman would not say specifically whether Teixeira would undergo surgery but acknowledged it has "always been a possibility."

On Sunday, Teixeira was uncharacteristically short with reporters who asked about the condition of his wrist.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Doctors have recommended that Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira have surgery on his right wrist, which likely would end his season.
The Yankees said Wednesday that the All-Star had an MRI with dye contrast and that team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad said the torn tendon sheath had not adequately healed. New York said hand specialists Drs. Melvin Rosenwasser of New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Michelle Carlson of the Hospital for Special Surgery and Keith Raskin of the New York University School of Medicine school concurred.
Teixeira was hurt while hitting off a tee March 5, when he was with the U.S. team at the World Baseball Classic. He made his season debut May 31, then came out of a game June 15 because of inflammation. He went back on the disabled list and did not respond to a cortisone shot.
