TAMPA — With the clock racing toward the final two-thirds of a baseball season in which Jacoby Ellsbury hasn’t played a game at any level, the center fielder believes there is enough time to get off the DL and back to the big leagues.
On June 22, Ellsbury said the plan was to get back to the Yankees. Talking to The Post and Newsday on Monday outside the Yankees’ minor league complex, Ellsbury said that continues to be his goal as he works through a lower back problem that has kept him from beginning baseball activities.
