Jacoby Ellsbury had an exam with Dr. Lewis Yocum in Southern California Tuesday afternoon after landing on the disabled list for a third time over the weekend, re-injuring his ribs, while Jason Varitek will meet with doctors on Tuesday night to get the latest update on his broken right foot, according to Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
Ellsbury suffered his latest setback following a collision running out a ground ball down the first base line last Friday in Texas.
As for Varitek, Francona said the catcher's right foot is healing and he continues to be able to run but is experiencing some lingering soreness.
"Tek had a scan," Francona said. "There's a lot of improvement. It still hasn't fully healed. He's going to get it examined. I think at this point, the examination is more important than what the scan says. The pain he's still having is a little bit off of where the the bone was broken and he's doing a great job and he's running better now than he was before."
