<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Boston Red Sox</a> outfielder <span>Jacoby Ellsbury</span> took batting practice on Thursday as he continues rehabilitation from a subluxation of his right shoulder.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/PeteAbe/status/215884660683706369">According to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe</a>, Ellsbury took batting practice for six minutes and "looked to be swinging with full effort."</p>
<p>The 28-year old has not played since April 13, when he tried to break up a double-play attempt at second base and collided with <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Rays</a>' second baseman <span>Reid Brignac</span>. <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/red-sox/post/_/id/20083/agent-boras-pleased-with-ellsburys-progress">ESPN reported</a> Wednesday that a minor league rehab assignment should come "sooner rather than later" if Ellsbury's progression continues at its current pace.</p>
<p>Last season, Ellsbury finished second behind <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blessyouboys.com/">Detroit Tigers</a> pitcher <span>Justin Verlander</span> in American League MVP voting after batting .321 with 32 home runs, 105 RBI and 39 stolen bases. </p>

<p>In a disastrous start to the season for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Boston Red Sox</a> (sound familiar?), some good news has come down.</p>
<p><span>Jacoby Ellsbury</span>, who suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder, will not require immediate surgery to fix the injury, <a href="http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/7825402/boston-red-sox-jacoby-ellsbury-need-shoulder-surgery">according to ESPN.com</a>. Instead, time and rehabilitation will be in order for now.</p>
<p>Manager Bobby Valentine is cautiously optimistic.</p>
<p>"He had some hand manipulation for range of motion. They're trying to take it slowly to get it better. I don't know that there is anything on the horizon other than normal treatment and see how he does day by day," Valentine said.</p>
<p>While it's still a big blow to have Ellsbury on the shelf for any extended period of time, it could have been far worse. Many have put his timetable to return at six weeks.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Boston fans have to be hoping that this team can pull together after the 18-3 shelling it took last night at the hands of the defending American League champion <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a>.</p>

<p>The Red Sox have confirmed what was first widely speculated and then later acknowledged by Jacoby Ellsbury himself: the center fielder has a subluxed (dislocated) shoulder:</p>
<p><span class="caps">STATEMENT</span> <span class="caps">FROM</span> <span class="caps">THE</span> <span class="caps">BOSTON</span> <span class="caps">RED</span> <span class="caps">SOX</span> <span class="caps">REGARDING</span> <span class="caps">JACOBY</span> <span class="caps">ELLSBURY</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Jacoby injured his right shoulder during yesterday’s game. An <span class="caps">MRI</span> was performed and showed findings consistent with a subluxed shoulder. We are in the process of gathering further information and determining the treatment plan. Jacoby will be placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to today’s game.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While each case is different, the recovery period being thrown around for such an injury is 4-6 weeks. More concerning, however, is the possibility that the injury could fail to heal with simple rehab, and may eventually require surgery if it proves difficult.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the Sox have called up Che-Hsuan Lin to provide added depth to the outfield.</p>

<p>The 28 year old is coming off the best season of his career – a year in which he was a serious MVP candidate in the American League. Ellsbury finished the season with 32 home runs, 105 runs batted in, 39 steals, 119 runs scored and a batting average of .321. His WAR of 9.4 was the highest of any player, with <span>Matt Kemp</span> placing second at 8.7.</p>
<p>Ellsbury has gotten off to a slow start in 2012, batting just .192, without a home run or a stolen base. </p>

<p>Jacoby Ellsbury <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/JacobyEllsbury/status/191174120443097088">tweeted Saturday morning</a> that the injury he suffered during Friday's 12-2 win against the Tampa Bay Rays is a shoulder subluxation. </p>
<p>According to Ellsbury, there is no timetable for his return, but injuries of a similar nature typically require 4 to 6 weeks of recovery, and potentially more time depending on whether he suffered any further damage to his surrounding muscles or tendons.</p>
<p>Ellsbury was injured during the bottom of the fourth inning when he slid into second base in an attempt to break up a double play. The clean slide made contact with Rays shortstop <span>Reid Brignac</span>, who fell on Ellsbury's shoulder after completing the double play. </p>
<p>Losing Ellsbury for an extended period of time will surely hurt the Red Sox, who are now prepared to call up a player for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay. Ellsbury finished second in the 2011 AL MVP voting after batting .321 with 32 home runs and 105 RBI. </p>

<p>Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said center fielder <span>Jacoby Ellsbury</span>, who was injured in the fourth inning of Friday's game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Tampa Bay Rays</a> at Fenway Park, is in a lot of pain. Valentine is prepared to call up a player for Saturday's game against the Rays. Valentine also said that his liked how <span>Cody Ross</span> played in center field after Ellsbury left the game. However, he did not rule out <span>Darnell McDonald</span> or <span>Ryan Sweeney</span> in center (<a href="http://blogs.providencejournal.com/sports/red-sox/2012/04/valentine-ellsbury-in-a-lot-of-pain.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">via Providence Journal</a>).</p>
<p>Ellsbury was injured sliding into second base while trying to break up a double play. Rays' second baseman <span>Reid Brignac</span> fell on Ellsbury's right shoulder during a collision. Ellsbury is having further evaluation done on the shoulder and no other information is available at this time. He was hitting .192 with three RBI and four walks this season.</p>

<p>Boston Red Sox center fielder <span>Jacoby Ellsbury</span> left Friday's home opener against the <a href="https://www.draysbay.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Tampa Bay Rays</a> at Fenway Park during the fourth inning with an undisclosed shoulder injury.</p>
<p>Ellsbury's injury occurred when he tried to break up a double play attempt. Ellsbury slid hard feet first into second base and then collided with Rays' second baseman <span>Reid Brignac</span>. Brignac fell on top of Ellsbury's right shoulder after following through on his throw to first base.</p>

<p>The 28-year-old 2011 AL MVP runner-up left the field holding his right shoulder. Ellsbury was 2-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the game before the injury. For the season, Ellsbury was hitting just .192 with 3 RBI, four walks and three strikeouts.</p>
<p><span>Cody Ross</span> was moved into center field after the injury. <span>Ryan Sweeney</span> was also inserted into the game at the right field spot.</p>

<p>Jacoby Ellsbury left his team's game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Tampa Bay Rays</a> in the fourth inning after a collision with infielder <span>Reid Brignac</span>, who landed on Ellsbury's right shoulder while he was sliding into second base during a routine double play. Ellsbury was diagnosed with a "right shoulder injury" by the team and will be re-evaluated later.</p>
<p>Ellsbury remained on the ground for several minutes after Brignac made impact and was clutching his right shoulder. He was helped up and walked back to the clubhouse. <span>Cody Ross</span> moved to center field and <span>Ryan Sweeney</span> moved to right following Ellsbury's injury.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this is not the first bout with injury for Ellsbury, who missed a significant portion of the 2010 season (he only played 18 games) after colliding with then Red Sox third baseman <span>Adrian Beltre</span> during a game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Kansas City Royals</a> on April 11. Ellsbury, then playing left field, collided with Beltre's knee and fractured four ribs.</p>
<p>Ellsbury was batting .192 with zero home runs and three RBI entering Friday's game.</p>
