The New York Yankees might be without Jacoby Ellsbury for some time.
The center fielder left Wednesday’s game against the Kansas City Royals in the first inning after he collided with the center-field wall while catching a fly ball off the bat of Alcides Escobar.
Ellsbury remained down for some time after the collision. He stayed in the game and finished out the inning in center field, but he was replaced by Aaron Hicks in the second inning
The Yankees announced Ellsbury was diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck.
The Yankees entered Wednesday in first place in the American League East with a record of 26-17.
