Ellsbury, Miller Set To Return To Yankees

The Yankees are expected to activate to outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and closer Andrew Miller ahead of tonight's game with the Oakland A's.

It's obviously great news for the team, which holds a two game lead over Baltimore for first in the AL East.

Ellsbury (knee) has been out of the action since May 20th. Miller hasn't pitched since June 10th, when he left a game with forearm soreness. It's expected that he'll resume closing responsibilities immediately. Dellin Betances has earned seven saves since taking over the roll over. He did, however, allow a game winning tenth inning home run in Tuesday night's 4-3 extra inning loss to the A's.
