Ellsbury headed back to Boston for MRI
Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Boston Red Sox
Aug. 14, 2010 - 8:30 AM ET

Jacoby Ellsbury (ribs) will go back to Boston this morning to have an MRI on his injured ribs.

Ellsbury had to leave Friday's game after experiencing pain in his left side following a collision with Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter at first base. It's the same area that's caused him to miss most of the season. "It's very concerning,'' said manager Terry Francona. "The exam that [trainer Mike Reinold] gave him is very concerning. We'll get him looked at as quickly as we can so we can try to make a decision going forward.'' We'll update you on Ellsbury's prognosis as soon as we get word.
