Jacoby Ellsbury’s Yankees return is imminent

BALTIMORE — With headaches from the concussion he suffered last Wednesday gone, Jacoby Ellsbury participated in baseball activities before Tuesday night’s game against the Orioles at Camden Yards.

“Today is the best I have felt,’’ said Ellsbury, who is eligible to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list Thursday when the Yankees open a four-game series against the Blue Jays in Toronto. “As far as the headaches I feel a lot better today.’’

Manager Joe Girardi said the plan was for Ellsbury to do some running and possibly hit in the indoor cage.

Ellsbury also suffered a sprained ligament in the neck when he crashed into the Yankee Stadium center-field wall making a catch against the Royals.
