Jacoby Ellsbury Injured Sliding into Second in the Home Opener

Red Sox CF Ellsbury leaves with shoulder injury

      BOSTON (AP) - Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury has
left the game against the Tampa Bay Rays after injuring his right
shoulder while trying to break up a double play.

      Ellsbury, the runnerup in the voting for AL MVP last year, was
hurt in the fourth inning Friday when he slid into second base and
Rays shortstop Reid Brignac landed on his right arm. Ellsbury
immediately clutched his shoulder and stayed on the ground while
being tended to.

      Ellsbury walked off the field while keeping his right arm bent
at the elbow. He had singled and then was injured on a grounder by
Dustin Pedroia.
