The Sox are hoping to get a lot of guys back soon. Well, they are off to a good start as Pedroia was proclaiming to anyone who would listen that he will be back sooner than later at the All-Star game. Dustin Pedroia will have a CT scan of his broken foot Friday that will help doctors determine when the infielder can return to the Red Sox lineup. The hope is that he will be activated sometime during the club's 10-game road trip that begins July 19.
Pedroia has stayed busy while on the disabled list, fielding ground balls from his knees and taking batting practice with his foot rested on a stool. I know a lot of people say this is all an act, but to be honest I think Pedroia is just one of those guys that is all about baseball 24/7. Anyways, Boston needs him (V-Mart, Buchholz, Beckett, Ellsbury) back as soon as possible, because this division could run away in a hurry.
We also get some news on the injured pitchers today...
The Red Sox have scheduled three more minor-league rehabilitation appearances for injured pitchers. Here is the schedule:
Thursday: RHP Manny Delcarmen (right forearm) will start a rehab assignment with Double A Portland at New Britain.
Friday: RHP Clay Buchholz (left hamstring) will start for Triple A Pawtucket at Syracuse.
Saturday: RHP Josh Beckett (back) will start for Pawtucket at Syracuse.
The rotation at this point in the majors is:
Thursday: Tim Wakefield vs. Texas
Friday: Felix Doubront vs Texas
Saturday: John Lackey vs. Texas
Sunday: Jon Lester vs, Texas
Monday: Daisuke Matsuzaka at Oakland (Boston.com)
