The New York Yankees can’t catch a break with outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. From his hip injury to plantar fasciitis, his issues seem to continue piling. While the outfield is stacked full of potential starters, it’s always nice to have more than less.
Ellsbury missed the entire 2018 season due to hip surgery. He’s in his sixth of a seven-year contract that paid him $153 million. In just four active seasons, Ellsbury is slashing .264/.330/.386. An abysmal showing of what was expected to be generational numbers.
Fans and analysts alike have torn the veteran apart for missing so much time.
