"Dustin Pedroia will be back in the team's starting lineup on Thursday in the team's series finale with the Angels. He has been out since Sunday with a strained groin he suffered on a swing. He missed his second straight game on Wednesday at Los Angeles (Sportsline)."
Obviously good news for the Sox here. Pedroia was not happy about sitting out last night, but Francona saw an opportunity to give him another day of rest since the Sox won Tuesday. With an injury like this (pulled groin) you have to make sure it is 100% before playing again, because you can easily reinjure it and even make it worse (much like a hamstring). Anyways, it doesn't seem like a big deal and I expect him in the lineup today...
