Ellsbury on DL
New York Yankees centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right knee after getting hurt during an 8-6, 10-inning loss to the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
The Yankees brought up outfielder Slade Heathcott from triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre on Wednesday.
Happy at last
Now that Alex Rodriguez has more home runs than lawsuits, the New York Yankees are happy with him.
The 39-year-old began Wednesday with a .248 batting average, 10 homers, and 22 RBIs following his return from a drug suspension.
"If he was healthy, I've always said he'd be a good asset, and he's been a great asset," said Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.
New York and A-Rod often were at odds. He refused to say in July 2013 if he trusted the Yankees, would not speak with management without a lawyer, and filed a medical malpractice suit against the team physician. He also sued MLB, then-commissioner Bud Selig, and the players' association.
He later withdrew the suits and apologized.
