    Mark Teixeira was not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for yesterday afternoon’s game with the Braves after taking a ball to the foot off of the bat in Jason Heyward Tuesday night. He did make a late-game appearance as a pinch hitter, but after the game he told reporters that his left foot was still tight and sore. Nevertheless, Teixeira expects to be ready tomorrow night when the second leg of the Subway Series opens at Citi Field.

    Bill Murray is one of my all-time favorite actors. He’s also part-owner of the Charleston Riverdogs, the Yankees’ Low-A affiliate, a fact some of you might have become aware of recently thanks to this video of Murray entertaining the Charleston crowd during a rain delay. He was inducted into the South Atlantic League Hall of Fame this month, and SB Nation put together a video package on him for the occasion. Several names you know make an appearance, including Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman and top prospects Mason Williams and Tyler Austin. It’s also got plenty of Murray, which is never a bad thing. Check it out:

    Yankees scout Astros’ Rodriguez

    Another starter going on the trade market, and more talk of the Yankees being connected to him. Jon Morosi of Fox reports that the Astros have made ace Wandy Rodriguez available in trade talks, and the Yankees are one of the teams who were on hand to scout his last start Tuesday night. Rodriguez is pitching to a shiny 3.29 ERA in the N.L. Central, but that’s backed up by a much less pretty FIP of 4.16. The discrepancy mostly comes from Rodriguez’s lack of strikeouts, as the lefty has a K/9 of just 5.74 and is seeing a decrease in his strikeout rate for the third consecutive season. The Yankees were rumored to be interested in Rodriguez at last year’s deadline as well, but found the cost prohibitive. In addition to whatever prospects Houston would want to receive in return, Rodriguez is owed $13 million next year, and his $13 million club option for 2014 becomes a player option if he’s traded.
