Early Setback

ESPN BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday because of a partially dislocated right shoulder, an injury the Boston Red Sox's All-Star center fielder suffered during Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.

There was no timetable for how long Ellsbury, the runner-up in MVP voting last year, will be out of the lineup.

Preliminary reports suggested he could miss four to six weeks, but Boston manager Bobby Valentine said Saturday afternoon he wasn't going to speculate about the length of Ellsbury's absence.
