Will Carroll is known far and wide as the “injury expert” — as his Twitter name suggests — and having read a lot of his work over the last few years, I’d have to say the name fits him rather well. Carroll has been spot on with his sports...

The Red Sox have accumulated so much talent this offseason that they have a problem. OK, so it’s a good, nay, GREAT problem to have. How does Terry Francona fill out his opening day lineup card and keep things balanced? The Sox have five left-handed hitting...

Jacoby Ellsbury Optimist: Ellsbury is healthy. The outfielder’s ribs are healed and he is ready to make up for loss time. He should be able to jump right in causing havoc on the bases and making great plays in the field, as the injury was not to his legs. The pressure...

Jacoby Ellsbury 2011 projection: Last season was a lost one for emerging speedster Jacoby Ellsbury. After fracturing four ribs early in April, Ellsbury would spend most of the season rehabbing while attempting and failing to come back to the lineup a few times....

The Red Sox ended up splitting their four-game series in the Bronx Monday with a 2-1 win. While it was pitching that won the game, it was a small change in lineup construction that could pay dividends over the last two months, should it stick. However, along with...

Boston outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury took great pains Tuesday to explain how he feels about playing through pain. “I’m willing to play through pain,” Ellsbury said after his latest rehab game (of a 20-day assignment) with the Pawtucket Red Sox who beat Durham, 5-4....

If there was a defining moment during the second game of Jacoby Ellsbury’s rehab assignment with Pawtucket, it occurred during the fourth inning yesterday against the Durham Bulls at McCoy Stadium. Durham’s Chris Richard crushed a Ramon Ramirez pitch over the fence in...
