Jacoby Ellsbury went 0-for-5 on Thursday, dropping his average to .249.

Ellsbury is in a 6-for-46 slump, and he's swiped just one base in May after stealing 11 in April. We wouldn't expect this to continue, but his fantasy value has dipped somewhat, as it appears that there's not much chance of his home run power coming back this year. May 16 - 11:03 PM

Date:

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury is hitting .279/.333/.402 with one homer, 12 RBI and a league-leading 11 steals this season.

Ellsbury didn't steal a single base during spring training, but he's been running wild since the regular season began. It remains to be seen how much power the outfielder will hit for, but he'll be a strong source of steals, runs and batting average as long as he stays healthy.

May 3 - 11:27 AM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury went 3-for-6 with two RBI in Monday's 8-2 season-opening defeat of the Yankees.

The game took about four hours, but the end result was a positive one for the visiting Red Sox. Ellsbury led the charge offensively, hitting a triple and two singles. If he can stay healthy, he should be a hugely productive fantasy outfielder throughout the 2013 season.

Apr 1 - 4:58 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

The Red Sox announced that Jacoby Ellsbury did not require an MRI on his right heel.

A previous report indicated that Ellsbury did go for an MRI, but it was actually Shane Victorino who required an MRI on his wrist. Either way, Ellsbury's injury is considered minor and he's expected to return to action Thursday.

An MRI on Jacoby Ellsbury's jammed right heel came back clean.

Good news. Ellsbury is out of the lineup for the third straight day Wednesday, but he's expected to return to action on Thursday.

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury (heel) is out of the lineup for the third straight day Wednesday.

Ellsbury is currently nursing a jammed right heel suffered during Sunday's game. He was originally hoping to play on Wednesday, but apparently he needs another day.

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury (heel) is expected to return to Grapefruit League action on Wednesday.

Ellsbury suffered a minor heel injury Sunday on an awkward slide. He is expected to be fine for Opening Day.

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury left Sunday's game with right heel injury.

Ellsbury appeared to injure the heel on an awkward slide back into first base. He stayed in the game initially and even attempted a steal but was eventually removed. The move was precautionary, so Ellsbury should be considered day-to-day.

Mar 24 - 1:39 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury has yet to attempt a stolen base in 15 Grapefruit League games.

It's surprising, but Red Sox manager John Farrell didn't indicate the Ellsbury has been instructed to run less, saying "there’s not a particular reason" why the outfielder hasn't attempted a steal. Ellsbury also indicated that the lack of running was a fluke, saying his speed will "be there when I need it." Ellsbury stole 39 bases in 2011 in his last full season.

Mar 24 - 11:25 AM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury doubled, singled and walked from the leadoff spot as the Red Sox beat the Twins 7-3 on Thursday.

We were hoping to see some power from Ellsbury this spring, but he's still without a homer in 28 at-bats. Today's double was his second. Not that anyone is expecting him to approach his 2011 total of 32 homers, but he needs to get more balls into the air if he's going reemerge as a modest power hitter this year.

Mar 14 - 5:20 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury went 1-for-3 with his first stolen base of the spring in a losing effort against the Twins on Friday.

The Red Sox only mustered five total hits in the game while being shutout by the Twins pitching staff. Ellsbury is off to a bit of a slow start this spring, (5-for-20), but appears to be completely healthy and over his shoulder injury from a season ago. While he’s unlikely to approach the mammoth power numbers he posted in 2011, he’s a good bet for 15 homers and 35 steals, with plus runs and batting average, making him a top tier outfielder in drafts.

Mar 8 - 9:58 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury (flu) is back in the lineup for Thursday's Grapefruit League game.

Ellsbury has dealt with a virus over the past couple of days, but he's feeling much better. It shouldn't be an issue moving forward.

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury didn't play Tuesday due to a virus.

The Red Sox sent the outfielder home after he showed up at ill at their spring training facility. Ellsbury should be fine after a day or two.

Mar 5 - 9:58 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Thursday that Jacoby Ellsbury will bat leadoff this season.

That was the assumption already, but Farrell made it a point to say that there will be no competition. This is a big season for Ellsbury, who batted just .271/.313/.370 in 2012 and was limited to 74 games due to a shoulder injury. The 29-year-old can become a free agent following the 2013 season.

Feb 21 - 9:56 AM

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Red Sox avoided arbitration with OF Jacoby Ellsbury by agreeing to a one-year, $9 million contract.

He gets less than a $1 million raise from his salary from 2012, when he was limited to just 74 games due to injury. Ellsbury has a chance to strike it rich in a free agent deal next winter if he can manage to stay healthy during his walk year.

	2	David Ross D.L. David Ross is still experiencing concussion symptoms and is likely to be re-examined Monday in Boston. Ross was placed on the 7-day disabled list last Sunday and will not be ready to return when he's first eligible. Ryan Lavarnway will continue to serve as Jarrod Saltalamacchia's backup for now.

SS	1	Stephen Drew Sidelined Stephen Drew (back) is not in Saturday's lineup. Drew played through a back issue on Friday and the Red Sox don't want to risk it again. The injury is not considered serious, though, and Drew will try to return on Sunday. May 18

RF	1	Shane Victorino Sidelined Shane Victorino (back) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Twins. Victorino still isn't 100 percent after his back tighten up Thursday. The Red Sox don't expect him to need a stint on the disabled list. Victorino could return to the lineup by early next week. May 18

	6	Franklin Morales D.L. Franklin Morales (back, pectoral) is expected to make at least two more rehab starts before being activated from the disabled list. Morales threw three innings in his last outing and will stretch it out to four innings Saturday. The lefty would have been activated by now had the Red Sox wanted him as a reliever, but they're stretching him out as a starter in case he's needed in that role. "Well, he'll likely get to four innings [on Saturday], and if we don't change course with his role, we'd like to get him to a minimum of five before we'd look to do something back here," manager John Farrell said. May 15
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Andrew Bailey D.L. Andrew Bailey (biceps) threw a 15-pitch simulated inning on Thursday afternoon at Tropicana Field. Bailey induced fly ball outs from each of the three batters he faced and then worked on his throws to first base for a few minutes. The right-hander is expected to make a rehab appearance on Saturday at Triple-A Pawtucket before rejoining the Red Sox bullpen on Monday. He will take back Boston's ninth-inning gig once he is activated. May 16
	2	Joel Hanrahan D.L. Joel Hanrahan was upbeat Friday after he required Tommy John surgery in addition to flexor tendon surgery on Thursday. Hanrahan will be in a cast for ten days, but will start the rehab process shortly thereafter. Either way, he's looking at a 12-to-14 month timetable for his return. Hanrahan, who is a free agent after the season, is a long way away from having any tangible fantasy value. May 17
