Dustin Pedroia To Start Running This Week
6 years agoBoston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) is scheduled to start running and testing his surgically-repaired left knee this week. The veteran second baseman had microfracture surgery in November of 2017 and played in just three games before being shut down in 2018. He underwent a second arthroscopic procedure in August. The team and Pedroia remain hopeful that more time off and more rehab this winter will help Pedroia return in 2019. He'll turn 36 this August and hit .318/.376/.449 with 15 home runs and 74 RBI in his last full season in 2016. But Pedroia is an extreme injury risk and shouldn't be drafted in most formats until we get a better idea on his health.
