6 years agoNew York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) is expected to be fully recovered entering the 2019 season. "He's due to be healthy and back on track [following left hip surgery]. He'll enter Spring Training as a rehab player. I guess it remains to be seen if he will be a player that we can deploy as early as Opening Day, or is it going to need a little more time? That's to be determined, but he is supposed to be fully recovered," Cashman said. Ellsbury missed all of the 2018 season due to hip and other ailments, and he's not expected to be a starter in New York's crowded outfield even if he's healthy. He'll be avoided in most fantasy drafts next spring.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
