HBT: Teixeira back in Yankees? lineup

As expected Mark Teixeira is back in the Yankees? lineup after sitting out 20 straight games and 30 of the past 31 games with a calf injury, playing for the first time since September 8.

In his absence the Yankees initially turned to Casey McGehee, Steve Pearce, and Eric Chavez at first base, but recently they relied on Nick Swisher as their primary first baseman.

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports that Teixeira feels better now than he did in returning from his initial calf injury, which is important considering it was aggravating the injury that led to the 20-game absence.

He?s playing first base and batting fifth tonight against the Red Sox.
