Mark Teixeira yesterday sounded as if he will be in the lineup tonight against Mets left-hander Jon Niese at Citi Field as the Subway Series resumes.

Teixeira didn’t start Wednesday’s 10-5 loss to the Braves after taking a smash off his left ankle Tuesday night.

“It was really sore [Wednesday]. I knew I couldn’t play all nine,’’ said Teixeira, who doubled as a pinch-hitter and played the ninth inning at first base. “But it was good to get in there. I’m glad I was able to test it, run the bases and play defense. It made me even more confident that I’ll be fine [tonight]. I feel even better today than yesterday.”
