Dustin Pedroia returning to Boston tomorrow; knee surgery possible

NEW YORK — Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia will return to Boston tomorrow to have his right knee examined and is facing the possibility of surgery that would sideline him for at least a month.

 

Pedroia was injured on May 16 when he fell on his knee fielding a ball against the Orioles. He described the procedure, which will be done at Massachusetts General Hospital, as a "needle with a camera on it" that will determine the extent of the damage.

 

If necessary, Pedroia would then have the surgery immediately.

 

"It could keep me out a month," he said. "It's not what I want. But I have to get it checked out. It's been bothering me a lot."

 

Pedroia said that his lack of production at the plate is attributable to his knee and surgically repaired left foot.

 

"It's hard to hit with something is wrong with your legs," he said. "I've been trying."

 

Pedroia is hitting .247 with a 338 on-base percentage this season. If he is placed on the disabled list, the Red Sox could use Jed Lowrie at second base and Marco Scutaro at shortstop. Drew Sutton also has experience at second base.

 

Pedroia was injured on the first play of the game on May 16 when Brian Roberts hit a ball off the chest of Daisuke Matsuzaka. He fielded the ball and landed on his knee trying to make a play.

 

"I banged it hard and it has been bothering me ever since," he said.

 

In other injury news, Lowrie (left shoulder) has been cleared to play and is expected to return to the lineup tomorrow.

Only Adrian Gonzalez can go 0-4 with 3 K's and STILL have 2 RBI. That guy is retarded good.
