Ellsbury went 4-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

One of the hits was a double -- his 16th of the season -- as Ellsbury has already topped last year's output in that category. He also matched his 2015 RBI total at 33 and is now 10-for-22 (.455) with a pair of extra-base hits in the month of August. It's overall still been something of a disappointing campaign for the 32-year-old, but there are signs Ellsbury could be turning it around late.

Ellsbury went 2-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Monday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury also scored a pair of runs in the contest, including the go-ahead tally in the 10th inning. The center fielder is hitting .304 over his last six games with a pair of extra base hits, but the former 70-base stealer has just one stolen base since July 3.

Ellsbury went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury snapped a 1-for-13 skid with the three-hit effort, and also collected his first extra base hit since July 10. All three parts of his .269/.332/.376 slash line mark an improvement over last season's disappointing campaign.

Ellsbury is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Erik Boland of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury will get a day off as the team faces Madison Bumgarner in the opening game of the series in the Bronx. The 32-year-old has started every game since the All-Star break ended, but will be replaced by Aaron Hicks in center for Friday's matchup.

Ellsbury reached on a catcher's interference for the ninth time this season, setting an obscure major league record on what was an otherwise pedestrian 1-for-2 with an RBI and a steal night.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury's remarkable nine catcher's interferences in a single season sets a new major league record with 9, and he's done it with almost half the season left to play. The play gives Ellsbury 23 catcher's interferences for his career, the most of any active player. The major league record of 29 career is held by Pete Rose and looks in striking distance for the 32-year-old Ellsbury

Ellsbury went 2-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored, three RBI and his fourth home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

He's been alternating good months with quiet ones so far this season, and the pattern is holding true as Ellsbury is slashing .333/.381/.436 through the first nine games of July with five multi-hit performances. Hopefully the All-Star break won't slow his momentum.

Ellsbury is in the lineup, playing center field and batting second against Cleveland on Friday, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury went 3-for-4 Wednesday at the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury joined Didi Gregorius as the only Yankee hitters to post more than one hit in a game that saw the team get shut out. He's now collected multiple hits in three of his last four games, and he slashing .280/.348/.396 on the season.

Ellsbury is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees will get as many right-handed bats into the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against lefty Carlos Rodon and the White Sox, meaning that Ellsbury will get the day off. Aaron Hicks will take Ellsbury's place in center field and bat ninth in the order TUesday.

Ellsbury went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

New York's offense failed to get anything going against starter Cole Hamels, but they at least managed to avoid a shutout thanks in large part to Ellsbury's success against reliever Jake Diekman. The former Red Sox outfielder is surely envious of his old team's current lineup, as he has scored just 32 runs as the regular leadoff man for a subpar Yankees offense.
