Now that we know Mark Teixeira is going to miss quite a bit more time with a severe bone bruise in his right shin, the Yankees have officially placed him on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to August 27.
That makes him eligible to return next Friday.
After going on crutches this week, I doubt anyone was expecting Teixeira to return any earlier than next Friday. I suppose putting him on the DL opens the possibility of giving him a rehab game at some point just to get at-bats (though the team might decide that’s not necessary).
The most immediate benefit is that it allowed the Yankees to recall Nick Rumbelow one day early. Because he’s replacing a player who’s going on the DL, Rumbelow was allowed to come back to the big leagues before he’d been in Triple-A 10 days.
