A controversial home-plate collision Friday could keep New York Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury out of the lineup on Saturday.

Ellsbury's left foot collided with the leg of Toronto Blue Jays catcher Dioner Navarro during his slide at the plate. Ellsbury was initially ruled safe by home plate umpire Mike Everitt, a call that was overturned after review.

Ellsbury was evaluated following the game and appears to have avoided any serious injury.
Correction: Ellsbury didn't have an x-ray. They have a fluoroscope here. Girardi said results of that were negative. It's his left ankle.
