Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees FREE: LIVE STREAMING Major League Baseball from Yankee Stadium at 1:05 PM ET

Mark Teixeira, the Yanks switch-hitting slugger looks to continue his resurgence and help the Bronx Bombers prevent the Rays from winning three consecutive series in the Bronx for the first time.

Teixeira's 338 home runs through his first 10 seasons -- 2003-12 -- were the fifth-most in baseball. Wrist problems limited him to 15 games last year, and he was back on the disabled list last month during his 34th birthday with a strained hamstring. His homer April 24 at Boston ended a 10-month drought, and he has gone deep four times in his last five games.

Teixeira is 4 for 10 with two homers through two games of this series, delivering a two-run homer and an RBI single in Saturday's 9-3 victory.

"You want to put up those home runs, and you want to drive in runs for your team, and when you start seeing that, then it makes you feel better about where you are physically," Teixeira said. "It's been a struggle the last year coming back from this injury, but so far the results have been good."

Teixeira is batting .357 with four home runs in his past seven games against Tampa Bay going back to 2012. That's the last year New York (16-13) won a series from the Rays at Yankee Stadium, where Tampa Bay has won seven of its past nine games.

The only other time the Rays (14-17) had won even two straight series in the Bronx was in 2005.

Will Myers is 10 for 25 with three homers and 10 RBIs in his last five matchups with the Yankees after going deep Saturday. Six of his 16 career home runs have come against New York.

C.C. Sabathia (3-3, 5.11 ERA) gets another shot Sunday after holding Myers hitless and beating the Rays on April 17, allowing one earned run in seven innings of a 10-2 victory.

Derek Jeter should return after getting Saturday off following his first career 0-for-7 performance in Friday's 10-5, 14-inning loss.
