Injury-riddled Red Sox get some relief in Ellsbury

Baseball Betting Lines

08/04/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox welcomed back leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury on Wednesday and hope the outfielder lasts longer in his return than the last time he was activated off the 15-day disabled list.

Ellsbury was sidelined in the first week of the season after breaking several ribs, then returned after a month-long absence in late May and suffered another fractured rib making a diving catch against Philadelphia on May 23. He played the next game and went 0-for-5 before being put on the DL again.

The original injury, a hairline fracture in four of his left ribs, came when he collided with teammate Adrian Beltre going after a fly ball.

Ellsbury has played in only nine games this season, batting .250 with four doubles and three RBI. In his second full season last season, the 26-year-old speedster batted .301 with 94 runs scored and 70 stolen bases in 153 games.

To make room on the roster, the Sox optioned outfielder Daniel Nava to Triple- A Pawtucket.
