Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira will be out for the rest of the season, the team announced in a tweet Friday afternoon.
Teixeira has been on the disabled list since Aug. 27 because of a bone bruise in his right shin.
The latest MRI revealed a fracture, the team said.
The loss of Teixeira, who leads the team with 31 home runs, could not come at a worse time as the Bronx Bombers begin a series with the Toronto Blue Jays.who lead the AL East by 1.5 games.
