Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports
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.
