Ellsbury To AAA; Breslow (?) Up

Jacoby Ellsbury was optioned back to Pawtucket after last night's game. While in Boston, he went 6-for-16 (.375) with two walks.

Godon Edes, Globe:

The Sox would like to see Ellsbury elevate the ball more consistently, the way he did in Portland and Pawtucket. A September call-up is a virtual certainty, with Ellsbury conceivably figuring into postseason roster permutations because of his speed ...

Rotoworld suggests Boston might call up lefty reliever Craig Breslow for the Tigers series.
