Ellsbury (hip) is hopeful that he will be able to return for Monday's contest against the Rays, the NY Post reports.

Analysis:

Ellsbury was removed from Saturday's game with hip tightness and was held out of the lineup Sunday, but it sounds like it may have been a more precautionary move as manager Joe Girardi indicated he was leaning toward giving the outfielder a day off at some point anyway. He was able to go through batting practice Sunday and will be re-evaluated prior to Monday's game, which should shed more light on his availability.
