Jacoby Ellsbury’s season is officially over. This afternoon the Yankees announced Ellsbury underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip yesterday. The expected recovery time is six months, meaning he should be ready in time for Spring Training.
Ellsbury, 35 next month, has not played at all this year due to a series of injuries. He pulled an oblique taking batting in Spring Training, then his hip starting acting up, then he dealt with plantar fasciitis, and then his back gave him trouble. Turns out the hip injury was serious enough to require surgery.
