Jacoby Ellsbury gets new injury while recovering from old one

Those who expected Jacoby Ellsbury back for the Yankees when he was eligible to come off the disabled Thursday will be disappointed.

The injury-prone center fielder, who has been out with a strained right oblique, now has a hip injury that will keep him out even longer, manage Aaron Boone said Tuesday.

“[Ellsbury] is dealing with a little bit of a hip thing, so he’s been shut down for a couple days,” Boone said before the Yankees were scheduled to play their home opener against the Rays.

He had been working out at the team’s minor league complex in Tampa.
