Yankees' Mark Teixeira close to return New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira expects to play in his first game since hurting his right wrist in early March, suiting up for a minor league game with double-A Trenton on Wednesday. Teixeira, who injured the wrist while preparing with the U.S. team for the World Baseball Classic, has been working out at the Yankees' minor league complex in Florida. "If everything goes as planned, I'll leave here Tuesday and play in Trenton Wednesday and Thursday," Teixeira said Friday. That's the plan right now. Teixeira, eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list on May 30, didn't rule out rejoining the Yankees next weekend. Danny Espinosa's .163 batting average makes a lot more sense. He's been playing with a broken wrist. Washington Nationals Manager Davey Johnson said Friday that his second baseman has a small fracture in the right wrist and will rest a few days to see if it improves. Cleveland Indians first baseman Nick Swisher is back from the paternity list after his wife, JoAnna, had the couple's first child, a girl. Swisher missed three games. To make room for him, the Indians optioned infielder Cord Phelps to triple-A Columbus. The Boston Red Sox put outfielder Shane Victorino and third baseman Will Middlebrooks on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-hander Alfredo Aceves and infielder Jose Iglesias. The Cincinnati Reds put left-handed reliever Sean Marshall on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season because of a sore pitching shoulder. Marshall is 0-1 with a 2.57 earned-run average in 11 appearances, retiring 21 of 27 batters.
