New York Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury is not in manager Joe Girardi's starting lineup for Sunday night's clash with the New York Mets.
Ellsbury was forced out of Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Mets in the eighth inning with a hip injury.
Girardi is hopeful, however, Ellsbury can play Monday for the opener of a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Ellsbury leads the team with 14 runs scored and is hitting .282 through 17 games.
