Ellsbury (hip) is expected to begin baseball activities in the near future, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellsbury continues to make slow progress, as he works his way back to full health. He still appears to be a ways off from returning to game action, although it's good news that he's almost ready to be cleared for all baseball activities.

Manager Aaron Boone said Ellsbury (oblique) is still going through baseball activities at extended spring training, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boone added that Ellsbury was "fairly healthy," but went on to say that he thinks the veteran outfielder is still a little ways off from getting into game action. A more concrete timetable for his return will hopefully emerge once he's able to return to game action. Ellsbury isn't eligible to return from the 60-day DL until the end of May.

Ellsbury (oblique, hip) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It has become increasingly clear that Ellsbury isn't particularly close to returning since the outfielder has yet to resume baseball activities. He was initially placed on the disabled list with an oblique injury in late March and then suffered a hip injury in early April which has continued to plague him throughout the course of the past month. Expect an update on his status once he's able to begin ramping up activity.

Ellsbury (oblique, hip) has yet to resume baseball activities, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since landing on the DL with an oblique injury, Ellsbury has had to deal with additional hip and foot injuries. Because he's yet to resume participating in baseball activities, it's hard to determine when the 34-year-old will be ready to come off the disabled list, although his return seems to be a ways off.

Ellsbury (oblique, hip) is dealing with plantar fasciitis and still hasn't resumed baseball activities, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees are convinced that Ellsbury is over the oblique injury that initially sent him to the disabled list, but the veteran outfielder is apparently now dealing with a foot ailment on top of the hip injury he's working back from. As a result, Ellsbury remains sidelined from baseball activities, leaving his return timetable up in the air.

Ellsbury (oblique, hip) received a cortisone shot Tuesday and expects to resume baseball activities Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellsbury was close to returning from his oblique strain but then suffered a hip injury as well. He's still a few days from resuming baseball activities and presumably won't be ready to play for at least a little while after that. When he does return, it will likely be in a bench role unless yet another Yankee outfielder goes down with an injury.

Ellsbury (oblique) will see a hip specialist in New York on Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The embattled outfielder seemed to be nearing a return to action earlier in the week, but a hip injury has complicated matters. A timetable for his return should emerge once the findings of the specialist are found, though it seems like he will be out at least another week.

Ellsbury (oblique) has been shut down in his rehab program after incurring an apparent hip injury, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees initially hoped that their veteran center fielder would be able to return from the disabled list Thursday, but any chance of that has now disappeared. Ellsbury currently figures to only be held back a couple of days with this setback, but given his injury history, it's tough to expect he'll be back in a timely manner. Manager Aaron Boone disclosed that he expects Aaron Hicks (ribs) to be back before Ellsbury, so once he is healthy, Ellsbury will likely return to a bench role.

Ellsbury (oblique) will be eligible to return from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game against Baltimore, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
General manager Brian Cashman said that Ellsbury has been receiving at-bats in minor-league games in Tampa but has not played a full nine innings or appeared in back-to-back days at this point. Cashman also admitted that the club is speeding up Ellsbury's timeline now that Aaron Hicks (ribs) also landed on the disabled list. There will likely be a definitive answer to Ellsbury's return date early next week.

Ellsbury (oblique) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This had already been reported, but the move was made official on Opening Day. Ellsbury is expected back in mid-to-late April. In the meantime, Aaron Hicks appears poised for everyday work in center field, and he will likely remain a borderline everyday player even when Ellsbury is activated.
