Manager Bobby Valentine said that Jacoby Ellsbury, who was injured sliding into second base in the fourth inning, was in considerable pain when Valentine saw him, and that Ellsbury had left the ballpark for further evaluation.
Valentine said he was preparing for a player to be called up to Boston for tomorrow's game. He also said that he was comfortable with Cody Ross in center field (Ross slid over from right after the Ellsbury injury), but added that he believed either Darnell McDonald or Ryan Sweeney could do the job as well.
