Ellsbury (ankle) pinch-hit during Sunday's game, but will still undergo an MRI on his sprained left ankle, ESPN New York reports. Ellsbury seemed fine after his brief appearance, but was replaced for a pinch-runner after reaching base. The Yankees have the day off Monday, so with an extra day of rest he may be able to return to the lineup Tuesday if nothing unexpected shows up on the MRI.
