Ellsbury Returns To Disabled List With Rib Injury

And there we are. Jacoby Ellsbury is indeed going back on the DL with the same sort of injury that put him on the DL a month and a half ago. If there’s good news, it’s this:

Ellsbury visited a thoracic specialist on Friday and it was determined the injury was not serious, but it that he needed more time to fully recover.

For as long as Ellsbury’s out, look for the Red Sox to rotate through Jeremy Hermida, Bill Hall, and Darnell McDonald in left field depending on the handedness of the opposing pitcher.
