The Sox probably would have given up their 12-2 victory if they could keep their center fielder, leadoff hitter, and last year's American League runner-up in the MVP voting, upright for a full season.
This was the last thing the Sox needed during a season that had already begun without left fielder Carl Crawford, who is out with wrist and elbow discomfort.
"He's a huge part of our team,'' Pedroia said of Ellsbury. "You don't want your guys to go down. We hope he's fine.''
Kevin Youkilis said Ellsbury told him, "He felt something move in his shoulder.''
"Hope the MRI shows there's no structural damage and that it's just sore and he'll be back in a few days,'' Adrian Gonzalez said. "I feel badly for him. He's a guy who loves to play and he helped us win a game today. He's very valuable to our team. All we can do now is pray for him.''
