TORONTO - Speaking Tuesday night in Baltimore, Jacoby Ellsbury called it "a good day."
The headaches present since he suffered a concussion six days before finally started to go away and he indicated a return to the lineup was coming soon.
The good days have been just about nonexistent since then.
In what can only be described as a setback, the center fielder started experiencing headaches again Friday. He is scheduled to see a neurologist after the Yankees return to New York from this seven-game trip that ends Sunday afternoon.
Manager Joe Girardi said Ellsbury "felt good" when he arrived at Rogers Centre Friday afternoon and the intent was for the outfielder to take batting practice.But the headaches returned.
Ellsbury, who sustained the concussion May 24 when he crashed into the Stadium center-field wall making a catch against the Royals, had not been doing much in the way of baseball activities.
"When you have a concussion, you just have to be careful and do the right thing," Girardi said. "It's probably the trickiest injury for us to deal with. I know he's frustrated, he wants to come back."
