MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Pedroia, Dustin

Oct 26, 2017 - 9:43 AM 2B Dustin Pedroia underwent successful surgery on his left knee and will miss the start of the 2018 season, the Red Sox announced Wednesday. 'It is anticipated that Pedroia would return to games in approximately seven months," the Red Sox said in a press release. The 34-year-old Pedroia was on the disabled list twice after the All-Star break this season with what the Red Sox called inflammation. He had surgery on the left knee last offseason to repair a torn meniscus. Pedroia hit .293 with seven home runs and 62 RBIs in being limited to 105 games in 2017 -- his 11th season with the Red Sox.
