CHICAGO -- Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left hip to repair a torn labrum Monday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan and went as expected, the Yankees said Tuesday.
The typical recovery time frame to resume full competition following this procedure is approximately six months, which would put him in line to be ready for Spring Training, manager Aaron Boone said.
"[We were] trying to exhaust every other way to try to get him back and get him right, but finally they decided that surgery was the best way to go," Boone said.
