Brian Cashman: Jacoby Ellsbury has been legitimately hurt

Jacoby Ellsbury is battling a back injury and isn’t doing any baseball activities, general manager Brian Cashman said.

Add that to issues with his hip and oblique — as well as plantar fasciitis — and there’s no telling when Ellsbury will be back.

“Everything that he’s got has been diagnosed legitimately by a doctor,’’ Cashman said before the Yankees’ 11-4 loss to the Angels Saturday night at the Stadium. “It’s frustrating, without question. But it’s also, upon diagnosis, a future expectation of return to play. He just keeps kicking the can down the road because he’s had a series of different circumstances that stalled his rehab.
