Manager Aaron Boone disclosed that he expects Aaron Hicks (ribs) to be back before Ellsbury, so once he is healthy, Ellsbury will likely return to a bench role.","date":"Tue Apr 3"},"fullName":"Jacoby Ellsbury","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Ellsbury appeared headed for a productive, if unremarkable, 2017 season. Over the opening two months, the $153-million-man hit .282 with eight steals, but a concussion cost him the next month, and the 34-year-old sputtered the rest of the way. The outfielder finished with just seven home runs -- the fifth time in the last six seasons he finished with single digits -- and 39 RBI, though he proved to still be capable on the basepaths with 22 steals in 25 attempts. The bigger problem than his declining production at the plate is the fact that he doesn't have a clear path to regular at-bats to begin 2018. With Giancarlo Stanton joining Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks and Brett Gardner in the outfield, Ellsbury looks to be the odd man out. The Yankees' investment in him ensures he'll be on the roster but also makes it unlikely they will be able to find a trade partner.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Tue Feb 20"}}
