The move is retroactive to Aug. 27.

Teixeira underwent tests Tuesday that showed his sore right shin does not have a broken bone but rather a serious bruise. He hit a foul ball off the shin about two weeks ago and started just one game since then.

Teixeira, who landed a spot on the American League All-Star team this summer, is batting .255 with 31 home runs and 79 RBIs in 117 games.

The Yankees also recalled right-handed relief pitcher Nick Rumbelow from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Springer was in the starting lineup and batting leadoff in Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Last year, in 78 games, Springer hit .231 with 20 homers, 39 walks and five steals. In 75 games this season, Springer is hitting .264 with 13 homers, 42 walks and 14 stolen bases.
