ARLINGTON, Texas — The Boston Red Sox have placed center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury on the 15-day disabled list for the third time this season.
Ellsbury collided with Texas pitcher Tommy Hunter at first base after he led off Friday night’s game with a roller down the line. Ellsbury underwent MRI and CT scans on Saturday in Boston, and was diagnosed with bruising on the left side of his rib cage.
He was in only his ninth game back from the disabled list after missing 58 games because of broken ribs on his left side. He had missed 37 games during an earlier DL stint for a similar injury.
Right-hander Michael Bowden was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Ellsbury’s roster spot.
Eric Patterson was in center field for Saturday night’s game against Texas.
