Jacoby Ellsbury Leaves Game vs. Royals with Concussion, Neck Injury

The New York Yankees announced outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury suffered a concussion and neck sprain Wednesday and was forced to leave the game against the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium.

The center fielder made a tremendous catch for the first out of the game but hit the wall in the process and suffered the injury.

Because of a lack of openings on the 40-man roster, Joel Sherman of the New York Post doesn't believe the Yankees would use the disabled list if it is a relatively minor injury.
