"It's sore," said Ellsbury of his right wrist, which he strained while making a diving catch Thursday night.

The rookie outfielder said he hadn't been able to do any baseball activities Friday.

"Just icing it," said Ellsbury.

When he hit the ground and rolled over on his wrist, Ellsbury was hurting.

"There a little sharp pain in the wrist last night," said Ellsbury, who had an MRI Friday morning. "I was really worried. I had a (left) wrist injury before and it felt similar. Wrists can take a long time to heal. But the good news is that there's nothing torn or broken in there."

Ellsbury said he wasn't sure what he'd be able to do on Saturday in terms of baseball activities.

"There was a big improvement from (Thursday) to (Friday), so hopefully it will be better (Saturday)," said Ellsbury.
