TAMPA, Fla. (AP) β€” New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has left a minor league intrasquad game after being hit on a leg by a pitch.

Teixeira was the designated hitter Sunday’s game between Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Double-A Trenton when the ball struck his right kneecap.

After he returned Steinbrenner Field from the minor league complex, Teixeira said he was “fine.” He said no tests were planned.
