Jacoby Ellsbury to not play at least through the weekend

Jacoby Ellsbury missed last night's game with the Toronto Blue Jays and is not on the travel schedule to Orlando for a game with the Atlanta Braves. A mild abdominal strain could lead to Ellsbury missing up to a week. Manager Joe Girardi is not too concerned with this injury. (New York Post)

Fantasy Impact:

Ellsbury has slumped through the spring, although he did have a triple on Sunday, and has had injury issues throughout his career. Ellsbury missed considerable time in 2010, 2012, and missed some of Spring Training last season. Ellsbury could still be a top-30 player, but needs to get back in the lineup and show that he and Brett Gardner are a productive tandem at the top of the lineup.
