Red Sox 2nd baseman Dustin Pedroia left yesterday's game against the Twins after only the 1st inning, suffering a mild left wrist sprain after landing awkwardly on it while diving. Here is what Francona had to say...
“It was the back of his wrist,’’ manager Terry Francona said. “He had limited swelling. We’re going to get him X-rayed in the morning, just because we should. Their doctor came over. I don’t think there’s a problem. He might be a little sore tomorrow. Hopefully that’s all it is.’’
Hopefully this is nothing serious. The would be in a tough spot in Pedroia was out for the start of the season, but this doesn't sound like a big deal and I expect Pedroia to be back in time for Opening Day.
***UPDATE***
X-rays taken today on Dustin Pedroia's left wrist came back clean. He will take batting practice tomorrow and likely play on Friday.
