Jacoby Ellsbury taking a seat Wednesday for Yankees battle with Blue Jays
New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is getting the day off Wednesday for a matchup with left-hander J.A. Happ and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Aaron Hicks is starting in center field and hitting ninth for the Yankees. After finishing 2014 with 16 home runs and 70 RBI's just two seasons ago during his first year with the Yankees, Ellsbury has struggled at the dish in 2016, recording just 4 dingers and 38 RBI's
Across 465 plate appearances this season, Ellsbury has a .263/.326/.361 slash, .302 wOBA and .098 ISO, all of which are below his career-averages. However, his 7.96 walk percentage would be a new career-best if it holds.
