Boston Red Sox
Ellsbury 'not too bad' in return to lineup

BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury, who hadn't started the previous three games in the outfield because of a sprained right wrist, was back in the lineup Tuesday night.
Ellsbury went 1 for 5. His hit was a single to center leading off the first inning. He also was robbed of a single when his hard-hit ball up the middle defelcted off pitcher Daniel Cabrera to third baseman Melvin Mora, who threw him out.
The game ended when Ellsbury waved an missed an 0-and-2 pitch from left-hander George Sherrill.
Ellsbury said his wrist was sore, but "on the whole, not too bad."
Ellsbury admitted the wrist was on his mind when he was at the plate.
"When you have something like that and come into a game you can't not think about it," said Ellsbury. "There were a few swings (foul balls) where I felt it. My last fouloff (the pitch before the whiff in the ninth) I felt it. And any time you swing and miss, when it's not fluid and you make contact, you're going to feel it on that. But I'll get some ice and be back in there tomorrow."
