The Fates have it in for Boston this season, or just enjoy a bit of schadenfreude. The Red Sox have lost Jacoby Ellsbury for six to eight weeks with a dislocated shoulder. He was injured when Rays shortstop Reid Brignac fell on him after he tried to break up a double play. There’s probably video of it somewhere in the bowels of MLB.com. Also upset: that one guy in your fantasy league who threw caution to the wind with an obvious regression candidate.

Boston has called up Che-Hsuan Lin to replace Ellsbury on the 40-man roster. Headline writers are now at DEFCON 1.
