Injuries remain a problem for New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who will be out for six months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left hip, the team announced Tuesday.
The procedure was necessary to repair a torn labrum.
Now in his 12th MLB season, Ellsbury has always had problems staying on the field. He has only broken the 140-game barrier five times, including once in the previous three seasons.
The 34-year-old was transferred to the 60-day disabled list in May with injuries to his heel and oblique.
