Ellsbury is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

With the Yankees playing a day game after a night game and facing a lefty starter in Wade Miley, manager Joe Girardi decided it was an opportune time to rest Ellsbury. The veteran center fielder has been a disappointment in the second half of the season, batting .240 with only two homers and two stolen bases, but he's still in line to see the bulk of the starts at the position in September.
