Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira left the team's victory over the White Sox on Saturday night with a bruised right thumb.

Teixeira removed himself from the game in the third inning.

"I wasn't going to do the team any good tonight," he said. "We'll see how it feels [Sunday]."

Teixeira suffered the injury diving for a ball off the bat of Mark Teahen in the eighth inning of Friday's 9-4 White Sox win.

"They don't water the foul ground here and it's real hard," he said. "When I dove I braced myself with my right hand and that's when I jammed my thumb."

Teixeira has yet to miss a game because of injury this season.
