Teixeira intends to play through his wrist injury with the help of cortisone injections, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Teixeira was forced to leave Saturday's game prematurely with a sore right wrist. He's been dealing with this injury for almost a week and will require his third cortisone injection during that time span, if the trainers ultimately allow it. Despite Teixeira's desire to play, his status will still be in question for the final stretch of the season.
