Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) returns for Yankees

New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Ellsbury suffered a bone bruise in his right knee Saturday in a road tilt with the Boston Red Sox, causing him to be on the sidelines since. He returns to start in center field for the Yankees and will hit second against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Alex Cobb.

Ellsbury hasn't had a great year from the dish, slashing .265/.327/.382 through 577 plate appearances, with a .310 wOBA and .118 ISO that are both below his career averages.
