TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira will be out eight-to-10 weeks with a strained right wrist, meaning he will miss at least the first month of the regular season.

The latest update on Teixeira continues what has been a calamitous spring training for the injury-plagued Yankees.

New York already will be without slugging center fielder Curtis Granderson, who is slated to miss at least all of April with a fractured forearm, and star third baseman Alex Rodriguez, whose hip surgery will keep him sidelined until at least after the All-Star break.

Starting pitcher Phil Hughes is rehabbing from a bulging disk in his back and may not be ready for the beginning of the season.

Manager Joe Girardi said the Yankees have to "find a way" to get through these injuries, but the organization realizes this is not the way to start a season.

"This ain't good," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who was sitting in a wheelchair because of a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle from a sky-diving accident Monday.

Cashman gave the news after the Yankees lost 8-2 to the Dominican Republic World Baseball Classic team on Wednesday.

Teixeira was hurt swinging a bat Tuesday in an indoor cage during pregame warmups with the United States' World Baseball Classic team. Initially expected to miss just eight-to-10 days, Teixeira was examined in New York by team doctors, who said he has a strained ECU tendon in his wrist.

Teixeira has been told not to do anything for the next four weeks. If he heals according to schedule, he will need another four to six weeks to be ready to play in the majors.
