Jacoby Ellsbury

Red Sox transferred OF Jacoby Ellsbury from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move was made to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Mauro Gomez. Ellsbury now cannot return until June 13, which is around the time he’s been projected to, anyway. The outfielder has begun weight-bearing exercises and has experienced improved range of motion with his shoulder.

It’s another step forward for the 28-year-old center fielder, who has been on the disabled list since mid-April with a subluxed right shoulder. Ellsbury is on track to return to the Red Sox in early-to-mid June.

Jacoby Ellsbury has been doing exercise designed to increase the range of motion in his right shoulder.

The 28-year-old is sidelined with a subluxed right shoulder. When his normal range of motion returns, Ellsbury will move on to strengthening exercises. Once he graduates from that, he’ll get back to throwing and hitting. The Red Sox have not yet outlined a timetable for Ellsbury’s return. Early to mid June seems realistic at this point.

Ellsbury is now wearing a brace instead of a sling. The 28-year-old will be sidelined for another five weeks or so with a subluxed right shoulder.

Jacoby Ellsbury will not need surgery to repair a subluxed right shoulder.

It was the Red Sox’ original diagnosis, but they wanted to send Ellsbury’s MRI to Dr. Lewis Yocum to make sure. “Take it slowly to get it better,” manager Bobby Valentine said Tuesday of the plan. “I don’t know that there’s anything on the horizon, other than just normal treatment and see how he feels day to day.” The outfielder is expected to be sidelined six weeks.

Ellsbury will undergo further testing this week to check for additional damage. Early estimates suggest a minimum timetable of six weeks. Che-Hsuan Lin replaces him on the active roster, while Cody Ross, Darnell McDonald, and Ryan Sweeney will start in the outfield. Carl Crawford (wrist) is expected to begin his extended spring training assignment this week.

Ellsbury is set to undergo further testing to make sure the shoulder didn’t sustain additional damage. He remains without a timetable, but will likely be sidelined for six to eight weeks. Darnell McDonald figures to play on a more regular basis in his absence.

Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com confirms that Jacoby Ellsbury has a dislocation or partial dislocation of his right shoulder and will miss a minimum of six weeks.

Terrible news for the Red Sox and fantasy owners alike. Ellsbury injured the shoulder when Reid Brignac landed directly on top of him at second base during Friday’s game. He was immediately sent to Massachusetts General Hospital for an MRI, but he’s scheduled to undergo even more tests to make sure shoulder did not sustain additional damage. Darnell McDonald, Cody Ross and Ryan Sweeney will start in the Red Sox outfield, at least until Carl Crawford comes off the disabled list.

Alex Speier of WEEI.com was told by an “industry source with knowledge of the situation” that Jacoby Ellsbury likely suffered a dislocation or subluxation of his right shoulder.

Ellsbury was sent for tests after Reid Brignac landed on top of him at second base during Friday’s game. While the Red Sox have yet to announce results, a dislocation or subluxation of this kind would likely keep him sidelined for six to eight weeks. If the injury fails to respond to rest and rehabilitation, season-ending surgery could be a possibility. Stay tuned for an official update, but things don’t sound good right now.
