Heading back to Boston to have his sore left side and back looked at,

Aug 14 Updating a previous report, Ellsbury (ribs) will head to Boston, instead of Los Angeles, to undergo an MRI, the Boston Globe reports.
Recommendation: Ellsbury left Friday night's game after colliding with Texas pitcher Tommy Hunter and re-injured his left side and back, the same areas that caused him to miss most of this season. "It's very concerning," said manager Terry Francona. "The exam that [trainer Mike Reinold] gave him is very concerning. We'll get him looked at as quickly as we can so we can try to make a decision going forward."

The Red Sox placed Ellsbury (ribs) back on the disabled list Saturday, the Boston Globe reports.

Recommendation: Ellsbury has swelling in the same area as before, and a CT scan discovered a "faint line" around the same spot as the previous fracture. Considering that he missed more than two months the first time around, it's reasonable to wonder whether Ellsbury's regular season could be over. That's just speculation, however, so don't cut him loose yet if you can afford to hold onto him.
