Jacoby Ellsbury's return to the minors was cushioned today when it was announced that he would again be on the U.S. team roster for Sunday's Futures Game in San Francisco. Ellsbury was officially optioned back to Pawtucket today and the Red Sox announced that they have called up 1B/OF/DH Jeff Bailey of the Paw Sox. With Pawtucket this season Bailey has hit at a .250/.353/.429 (.787 OPS) clip with nine HR, 19 doubles and 40 RBI. A fan favorite, Bailey (28) will wear uniform # 55. He has been in the Sox system since 2004, splitting time between Portland and Pawtucket.
