TORONTO -- Brandon Morrows season is effectively over after the Toronto Blue Jays starter was diagnosed with a nerve injury in his right forearm. Morrow has an entrapped radial nerve that will keep him from throwing for the next six weeks. Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews made the diagnosis, which the team announced Thursday. "He was feeling better, but he wasnt making a whole lot of progress," manager John Gibbons said. "They recommended six weeks off, and when you look at six weeks, how much time is left? But the thinking is that they want him, hopefully when that six weeks is up, he starts getting on the mound so that when the year is over hes at least thrown from the mound doing something. So he goes in the off-season knowing where hes at and feeling good about it, anyway." Morrow went 2-3 with a 5.63 ERA in 10 starts before leaving the Blue Jays game May 28 after two innings. Several MRIs were taken on the right-handers sore arm, but all that doctors found was inflammation, according to general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Because of that uncertainty, Anthopoulos said Wednesday afternoon that he wasnt very optimistic about Morrows status. "I dont know enough about the severity," Anthopoulos said. "I just know that its not safe for him to go out there." Morrow had been throwing side sessions while rehabbing in Dunedin, Fla., but Andrews prescribed six weeks off. That would take the 28-year-old to September, when it would be difficult for him to get ramped back up for big-league action. "After six weeks you figure its got to be better, you would hope," Gibbons said. "But Im no doctor." The Blue Jays might not know for sure about Morrows future until spring training when he faces live hitters again, but they hope hell be able to test things out in the fall. "If he throws after six weeks and hes feeling good and its all behind him and he gets on the mound, I mean it wouldnt be actual game competition but hed be airing it out," Gibbons said. "Youd have a better idea, anyway." Anthopoulos also said he likes the flexibility afforded the Blue Jays by Brett Lawries ability to play second and third base. But for the majority of at least the short-term future, Lawrie will be a corner infielder. Gibbons stopped short of saying the Lawrie at second base experiment was over for good, but he penciled the 23-year-old in at third base again for Thursdays series opener against the Houston Astros and plans on keeping him there. "We always have a right to change our mind," Gibbons said. "Its not definite where hes going to be only (at third base), but well see how that plays out." Gibbons cited Lawries defensive plays Wednesday night as his reasoning, saying, "Im dumb, Im not stupid. Ive seen him be good, hes always been good." Mark DeRosa might still see some time at third, which would require Lawrie to move over to second. Lawrie is hitting .208 this season -- .215 at third base and .158 at second. According to Gibbons, Lawrie is OK with moving back and forth. "He said, Ill play anywhere, whatever the team needs. That was his answer," Gibbons said. "I said, We dont want to get into the habit of moving you around, but I think it helps our flexibility and who knows what it might address down the road." MLB Jerseys Wholesale .

NEW YORK -- Mark Teixeira hugged one teammate at a time as he walked off the field, initially near his familiar spot at first base and then right down the line in the New York Yankees dugout.He tipped his cap to the crowd of 33,277 as the fans offered a standing ovation, patting his chest with his mitt and saying, Thank you.And with that, one of baseballs most prolific switch-hitters said goodbye.Mentally and emotionally, I kind of prepared for it, Teixeira said. It wasnt as weird as I thought it would be.Teixeira was honored by the Yankees during a 12-minute ceremony Sunday prior to his final major league game. He went 0 for 3 in a 5-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, his hometown team, and was replaced at first base by Tyler Austin with one out in the seventh inning so he could soak up the cheers as he exited, fully composed.I couldnt have asked for anything more but a win, Teixeira said. I got a chance to say goodbye, which was very important.The switch-hitting slugger was given several gifts before the game, with fans still filing in for the season finale on an overcast afternoon. Teixeira waved and doffed his cap as one video board posted Thank you Tex! while the large one in center field displayed his career achievements and rolled through various highlights in tribute.Once the game started, the entire crowd joined in when the Bleacher Creatures chanted Teixeiras name during roll call. And the 36-year-old first baseman soon flashed his Gold Glove form with a fully outstretched, diving play behind the bag to rob Matt Wieters of a hit in the second inning.Teixeira made another nice stop in the fifth, but failed to scoop third baseman Ronald Torreyes short-hop throw in the fourth just before Wieters two-run homer.With his contract set to expire, Teixeira announced Aug. 5 his plans to retire after this season, his 14th in the majors.Because this was my last year with the Yankees, it made it so much easier, he said. Playing my last year somewhere else just wouldnt have felt right. The last few spring trainings have been pretty sad because Ive had to leave my family, and I think thats a sign.Teixeira batted fifth and grounded out twice before flying out to shallow center field in his final at-bat. Over in the Baltimore dugout was manager Buck Showalter, Teixeiras first big league skipper in Texas.Asked before the game how he planned to handle Teixeiras farewell, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he was leaving it up to the three-time All-Star and would look for the perfect way to help him exit.He seems to be in really good spirits, Girardi said. I think this day is going to be filled with every type of emotion.During the ceremony, Yankees players and coaches were perched on the top step of the dugout and they applauded after the highlight reel.ddddddddddddWith his wife and three children at his side near home plate, Teixeira was presented with a framed No. 25 jersey by Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner and his wife, Christina, as well as general partner Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal.Brett Gardner and CC Sabathia gave Teixeira an encased base autographed by his teammates, and the festivities also celebrated Teixeiras years of charity work with Harlem RBI.Thank you for all you have meant to the New York Yankees, public address announcer Paul Olden said.Drafted fifth overall out of Georgia Tech by the Rangers in 2001, Teixeira also played for the Braves and Angels. He finished his career with the same amount of hits as games played (1,862). He batted .268 with 409 home runs and 1,298 RBI, joining Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray, Chipper Jones and Carlos Beltran as the only switch-hitters in major league history to reach 400 homers.He knew how to play the game, and that will be missed, Girardi said. Its unfortunate that his injuries, I believe, cut his career short.Teixeira joined the Yankees in January 2009 when he signed a $180 million, eight-year contract. He delivered immediately, helping New York to a World Series title that year and finishing runner-up for AL MVP.He hit a game-ending homer in the playoffs against Minnesota that season -- then created another lasting memory just days before his finale with a walkoff grand slam Wednesday night to beat rival Boston.I told Joe that I wouldnt be able to top what happened on Wednesday night no matter what, Teixeira said. After my third at-bat, I told him I was ready.Teixeira has won five Gold Gloves and three Silver Slugger awards. He is the only first baseman in big league history with at least five Gold Gloves, 400 homers and 400 doubles.Before a string of aches and pains began to take their toll in recent years, Teixeira was very durable. And from 2004-11, he had eight straight seasons with at least 30 home runs and 100 RBI.You can just count on him. And its such an admirable trait, Showalter said. Just a real consistent human being.IN THE FUTURETeixeira said he doesnt think hed be interested in the daily grind of managing or coaching at the major league level, though hed be open to being a spring training instructor down the road. He said he thinks working in television would be a lot of fun.Im not leaving my house tomorrow. I told my wife if its nice out, Ill play outside with the kids, he said. I just want to enjoy doing nothing for a day, and Tuesday Im going to play golf.Im going to stay very busy, thats kind of my nature, he added. Ill always be a Yankee.
