The Red Sox have announced they’ve placed second baseman Dustin Pedroia on the 10-day DL with left knee inflammation. To take his place on the active roster, they’ve recalled lefty Robby Scott from Triple-A Pawtucket.
This is the second time in the past two weeks the Red Sox have placed Pedroia on the DL with knee inflammation. He returned from the DL last week but played just one day before the injury sidelined him again. The 33-year-old has batted .303/.378/.406 in 388 plate appearances this season. The newly acquired Eduardo Nunez generally played second base during Pedroia’s last DL stint, with Rafael Devers at third, and that appears likely to be the Red Sox’ approach again this time.
U guys want Cabrera? Or walker? Please?! Lol
Definitely not
Walker would be perfect.
Pedey is beginning to show his age. The Red Sox would be smart to seriously consider trading Pedroia after the 2017 season is over while he still has value. A west coast team like the Giants or Padres might have interest.
Fortunately Nunez and Devers are getting it done. Bennintendi was the man today with 2 –
3 run HR’s against the Yankees.
