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.
Although Ellsbury was dinged up two seasons ago and limited to 111 games as a result, he remained relatively healthy last season.
