Teixeira returns to lineup after being hit on elbow and gets 2 hits for Yankees

Mark Teixeira doubled and singled after missing two games with a sore elbow and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 onThursday.

Teixeira wore a protective shield on his right elbow, which was bruised when he was hit by a pitch Monday against Baltimore. Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher each had a pair of singles for New York.

Right-hander A.J. Burnett allowed two runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings for the Yankees, including Jose Bautista's home run on his second pitch.

New York's Joba Chamberlain pitched in consecutive games for the first time this spring.
