Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has been placed on the 15-day DL with a possible separated shoulder, according to online reports.

Ellsbury left Friday’s game after Rays infielder Reid Brignac landed on him making a throw to first base in the fourth inning.

On Saturday, Ellsbury confirmed the injury on Twitter.

Thx for all the well wishes. Subluxed my right shoulder in yesterday's game. No timetable set, working hard to get back as soon as possible.—

Ellsbury, 27, is coming off a career season in which he hit .321/.376/.552 with 32 home runs and 105 RBI. The Red Sox outfielder led the league in total bases with 364, helping him earn his first All-Star appearance.

His offensive outburst in 2011 led to a second place finish in the American League Most Valuable Player voting behind Detroit’s Justin Verlander.

Prior to 2011, Ellsbury had never hit more than eight home runs in a single season, or drove in more than 60 runs.
