BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury, who suffered a sprained right wrist last Thursday and missed the three-game series against Seattle, is penciled in to start tonight's series opener against the Orioles.
Manager Terry Francona said he spoke to Ellsbury this morning and was confident that his rookie outfielder would be able to play. Francona also said, though, that if ElIsbury felt "any hesitancy" during batting practice, he would sit him out and start Brandon Moss.
Ellsbury is slated to play in left field, with Coco Crisp in center, because Manny Ramirez (right knee/hamstring) still is ready to play in the field. Ramirez will serves as the Sox' designated hitter, as he has in each of his last eight starts.
