Pedroia returns home for knee exam By Gordon Edes NEW YORK -- Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is scheduled to return to Boston Thursday morning for an examination of his right knee, which evidently has been bothering him for the last three weeks. The Boston Globe reported on its website Wednesday night that Pedroia could require surgery that would sideline him a month. Asked about that possibility, Pedroia replied in a text message: "I'm not having surgery. I'm going to get it checked.'' A team source refuted the assertion that Pedroia needs surgery. "He's getting it checked, that's all,'' the source said. Pedroia told the Globe he injured his knee making a diving stop on a ball on May 16 against the Baltimore Orioles. Neither he nor the team has made any mention of the knee being a problem since then, and Pedroia has missed just one game since that date, sitting out the middle game of a three-game set in Cleveland on May 24. He has played in the team's last 12 games since, including both ends of a day-night double-header in Detroit on May 29. That hardly suggests a player on the verge of needing surgery, but the knee has evidently given him enough problems that the team has elected to have team medical director Thomas Gill examine him Thursday at Massachusetts General Hospital. He will not play in Thursday night's finale against the Yankees, the team source said. The Red Sox have a couple of options at second in Pedroia's absence. The most likely one would be to have Marco Scutaro play second, especially with the news Wednesday that the MRI on Jed Lowrie's left shoulder came back clean, according to manager Terry Francona, and he is expected to start Thursday night. Veteran utilityman Drew Sutton is also here, and if Pedroia was out for a prolonged period, the Sox could recall shortstop Jose Iglesias from Pawtucket. Pedroia is batting .247 this season with an on-base percentage of .361. The batting average is well below the .305 he was hitting entering this season, and the OBP slightly off from his career number, .369, entering 2011. In the 18 games since he banged his knee, Pedroia is batting .250 (19 for 76). He played all nine innings in each of the team's two wins here in New York, doubling in a run on Tuesday and knocking in another with an infield hit Wednesday, and has reached base five times in the series (three walks). His numbers before banging his knee were about the same --.245 batting average -- and his slugging percentage has actually risen significantly since, from .316 before hurting his knee to .384. The knee has not appeared to impede him on the base paths, either, as he has stolen six of 13 bases this season since then. He's on a pace to steal 34 bases this season, which would easily eclipse his career high of 20, accomplished in 2008 and 2009. "It's hard to hit [when] something is wrong with your legs," Pedroia told the Globe. "I've been trying." Pedroia missed all but two games after fouling a ball off his left foot in San Francisco on June 25, one night after the greatest offensive performance of his career, when he hit three home runs as part of a 5-for-5 game in which he also singled and doubled. After an abortive comeback attempt that lasted just two games in August, Pedroia had surgery Sept. 3 on the navicular bone of his left foot, a procedure that involved inserting a screw to assist in the healing of the fracture. But while there have been times he has shown flashes of his previous form, this season has been a struggle for Pedroia offensively. "I just don't see him loading up the way he did in the past,'' one major-league scout said recently. "It's made me wonder if he is trying to protect the foot, even subconsciously.'' Pedroia has uncharacteristically expanded his strike zone, too, leading to 39 strikeouts. That puts him on a pace to strike out 104 times, which is double his previous high of 52, and would suggest that the foot injury has had a significant impact on his performance. http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/red-sox

Yeah Gorden Edes from ESPNBoston.com just came out on SportsCenter and said Pedey texted him to tell him he's going to Boston to have his knee examined, but that he won't be having surgery.....

Yeah but I just decided to post it in here also.....I posted them almost at the exact same time...

Did anyone else catch this? Dustin Pedroia returning to Boston tomorrow; knee surgery possible By Peter Abraham and Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff 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. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2011/06/dustin_pedroia_12.html
