Mike McGinnis/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Veteran first baseman Lyle Overbay agreed Thursday to a one-year minor league deal with the Boston Red Sox.

The left-handed Overbay struggled last year hitting .259 with 10 RBIs in 65 games with the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks.

For his career, Overbay has hit .270 with 318 doubles, 133 homers and 581 RBIs.

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira suffered a Grade 1 sprain to his left calf, during the Yankees 8-7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays Monday.

Teixeira injured himself after running out a foul ball in the fourth inning. He said he felt his calf muscle grab as he ran out of the box, and he knew something was wrong.

Teixeira isn't sure how long he'll be out.

"I don't know; It could be as little as a week," said Teixeira. "Or it could be two weeks, but I don't really know."

Manager Joe Girardi wasn't very optimistic.

“I don’t see him playing in this series,” Girardi said. “I don’t. I don’t even know if see him playing in the next series.”

Lance Berkman to Have Knee Surgery

Jeff Golden/Getty Images(ST. LOUIS) - St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Lance Berkman will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday in Vail, Colo.

If Berkman only has a torn meniscus, he could return after the All-Star break.  If Berkman needs to have his ACL replaced, he would be out for the season.

Berkman has suffered an ACL injury before. In 2005, he blew out his right ACL playing touch football.

"All the information that I'm getting plus what I felt leads me to believe that there is an issue with the ACL," Berkman said. "I'm hoping that's not the case but I'm not sure that is the case."

Berkman, 36, is signed to a one-year deal with the Cardinals worth $12 million that he signed before the end of last season.
