JACOBY ELLSBURY IS COMING BACK

I forgot the guy was even on the team... it seems like forever.

According to the Yankees, and George King III of the New York Post, the Yanks will get Jacoby Ellsbury back on Wednesday.

"Yankees center fielder and leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury will be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday, according to Brian Cashman.

'We scratched him because the fields were wet,’ the GM said of the playing surface Monday in Tampa, where Ellsbury was on a rehab assignment with the Single-A club. 'He did some simulated stuff [Monday] and will do it again Tuesday and be activated Wednesday.’ 

Ellsbury has been out since May 19 with a sprained right knee."

Look, it will be good to have Jacoby's production back in the lineup again.  Lord knows we need it... and right about now, right before the All-Star break, everything helps.

Just wanted to update all of you.  Carry on.
