Ellsbury (hip) remains out of the lineup Wednesday game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury will sit out Wednesday for the fifth game in a row as he continues to battle soreness in his hip. He did test his injury by jogging Wednesday, according to Newsday's David Lennon, but he did not run at full speed and was not on the field for long, so he did not demonstrate much for progress. It's not clear how much longer he will be sidelined, but Aaron Hicks will continue getting starts in center field until Ellsbury is able to return.
