Ellsbury placed on DL with subluxed shoulder

redsox.com:  BOSTON -- Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury has a subluxed right shoulder and was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, a day after he was hurt making a takeout slide at second base.
Triple-A Pawtucket outfielder Che-Hsuan Lin was recalled in Ellsbury's place, but the plan is for Lin to be only a temporary fix. Cody Ross started in center Saturday afternoon.
No timetable was set for Ellsbury's return, but subluxations -- when the upper arm comes partially out of the shoulder socket beyond what is normal -- can typically take six to eight weeks to return, or more. The team should know more after further evaluations.
