New York Yankees Mark Teixeira sits in the dugout during a baseball game against the Texas Rangers, Wednesday, June 26, 2013, in New York. Teixeira will have season-ending surgery on his right wrist, the Yankees and he announced in a news conference Wednesday.

NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira is out for the season. Brian Cashman regrets his outburst. Alex Rodriguez has a heart-to-heart with owner Hal Steinbrenner.

Happy birthday, Derek Jeter.

On a wild day in Yankees land, with big news coming out of New York — and the weight room in Tampa, Fla. — baseball’s most storied franchise paraded three prominent figures in front of a microphone at Yankee Stadium for 45 minutes worth of press conferences Wednesday to discuss a myriad of team issues.

Group therapy? Not really.

Damage control? You bet.

The most disappointing development for the Yankees concerned Teixeira, who will have season-ending surgery on his right wrist, probably early next week.

The club announced that the switch-hitting first baseman had an MRI with dye contrast and team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad determined that Teixeira’s torn tendon sheath had not adequately healed. Three hand specialists concurred, and the two-time All-Star said he was told he should be 100 percent healthy six months after surgery.

“It’s very tough, especially in a season where the team could probably use me,” Teixeira said, batting second in the news conference lineup between manager Joe Girardi and Cashman.

Teixeira was hurt while hitting off a tee March 5, when he was with the U.S. team at the World Baseball Classic. He made his season debut May 31 and got off to a strong start but came out of a game June 15 because of inflammation. He went back on the disabled list and did not respond to a cortisone shot.

“I usually respond very well to cortisone shots,” Teixeira said. “When it didn’t work and it wasn’t getting any better, I knew it was probably going to be bad news.”

Teixeira was hitting .151 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 53 at-bats. He is among five injured regulars who have missed a substantial part of the Yankees’ season.

Rodriguez, of course, is one of them. The three-time AL MVP had left hip surgery on Jan. 16 and New York has said it expects both A-Rod and Jeter to return sometime after the All-Star break.

Jeter, who turned 39 on Wednesday, has been sidelined since breaking his left ankle last Oct. 13 in the AL championship series opener. He reinjured the ankle while rehabbing.

The status of A-Rod’s rehabilitation, however, became a major point of contention this week.

The star third baseman posted Tuesday evening on Twitter that his hip surgeon had cleared him to play in rehab games, a move that angered Cashman because Rodriguez has not been cleared by team doctors yet — a point the general manager had just explained to reporters the day before.

Cashman told ESPNNewYork.com that “Alex should just shut ... up,” punctuating his comment with a profanity.

“I regret the choice of words I used,” Cashman said Wednesday, later adding: “I think we’re both at fault.”
