Teixeira Out 10 to 14 Days With Calf Strain Mark Teixeira, the Yankees injured first baseman, will miss the next 10 to 14 days after irritating a Grade 1 strain of his left calf Saturday. Teixeira had a magnetic resonance imaging test Monday that revealed the extent of the injury. If he were to miss two weeks he would only be available for the final nine games of the regular season. He originally injured the calf on Aug. 27, and missed 10 games. When he returned Saturday he was not 100 percent fit, but said he felt that he had to give it a try. It was a mistake because the calf tightened during the game and when he had to sprint to first base on the final play of the game he injured it further. The Yankees called up right-handed-hitting outfielder Melky Mesa from Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Mesa hit the winning two-run homer with two outs in Game 3 of the International League playoffs against the Pawtucket Red Sox on Friday. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lost Game 4 and the series on Saturday night.
