Hamstring sidelines Ellsbury; timetable not set

After beating out an errant throw from Jose Reyes with the bases loaded in the fourth inning of the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday, Jacoby Ellsbury returned to the bag in some pain. He remained in to run the bases, but manager Joe Girardi pulled Ellsbury before the fifth inning. An MRI exam shortly afterward revealed a mild right hamstring strain, but the center fielder is hopeful he can return before the end of this homestand, if not the season.
