Ellsbury is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Ellsbury's third game this month out of the lineup, including Tuesday's game as he was out with the flu. For Friday's contest, Aaron Hicks will be manning center field as Ellsbury will get another day off. During 63 games this season, Ellsbury is hitting .278/.339/.406 with 24 RBI and 12 stolen bases.

Ellsbury (illness) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury was held out of Tuesday's lineup due to his illness, but it appears that will be the extent of his absence. As he regularly does, he will man center field and hit leadoff against Rockies starter Jon Gray.

Ellsbury is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies with the flu, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per manager Joe Girardi, Ellsbury has been battling a stomach bug all day and it doesn't sound as though he'll be available as an option off the bench Tuesday. It's unclear if Ellsbury will be ready to return for Wednesday's tilt, but Aaron Hicks -- who's drawing the start in center field Tuesday -- figures to slot into the lineup should he miss anymore time.

Ellsbury is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Though Ellsbury's days off are typically limited to when the Yankees face a left-handed pitcher, he's coming off an 0-for-4 showing and hasn't gotten a break since June 7, so he'll head to the bench even with righty Chad Bettis set to pitch for the Rockies. Aaron Hicks will take over in center field and bat eighth Tuesday.

Ellsbury went 2-for-5 with a go-ahead two-run single in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder extended his hitting streak to six games, and plated Chase Headley and Didi Gregorious with a ninth-inning single that turned out to be the game-winner. Ellsbury is hitting .308 (20-for-65) with a homer and nine RBI to date in June, with the latter figure representing his season high in any month this season.

Ellsbury is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury has totaled six hits over the last three games and has raised his season average up to .288, but he'll head to the bench Tuesday with the left-handed David Huff scheduled to pitch. Aaron Hicks will take over in center field and bat ninth.

Ellsbury went 1-for-3 with a triple and three RBI against Detroit on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury hasn't had his best season in 2016, but he was instrumental to the team's win with a two-run triple that gave the Yankees a four-run cushion. Ellsbury has hit safely in seven of the past 10 games, and he's gone .306 (11-for-36) over that span, so perhaps he's beginning to turn things around after a slow start to the season.

Ellsbury is out of the lineup Thursday, the Wall Street Journal's Jared Diamond reports.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty J.A. Happ on the mound, the Yankees will give Aaron Hicks the start in center field, hitting second. The Yankees have been unwilling to move Ellsbury into a platoon as of yet, although the case could be made that it is the optimal deployment, as he has a 95 wRC+ against lefties, compared to a 118 mark against righties, and Hicks of course destroys southpaws.

Ellsbury went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run, two RBI and a walk Friday at the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury went 3-for-3 with a pair of walks in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Ellsbury also delivered an RBI and scored a pair of runs in the victory. The 32-year-old has recorded a hit in all four games since returning from a hip injury -- raising his average to .278 -- but he's yet to attempt a stolen base in that time after swiping nine bags in 12 tries in the opening four weeks.
