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.

2B Dustin Pedroia was a late scratch from the lineup Saturday against the Astros because of wet conditions on the field. Pedroia (.293, 7 HR, 62 RBIs) has been dealing with a chronic left knee inflammation, which has sidelined him 29 games this season. Brock Holt got the start at second base.

2B Dustin Pedroia returned to the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays after missing two games due to swelling in his left knee. Pedroia (.297, seven homers, 60 RBIs) hit second in the lineup and went 2-for-5 with an RBI. "I feel good, ready to go," Pedroia said before the game. "I like playing baseball."

2B Dustin Pedroia, who rested his troublesome left knee Monday night, still had inflammation in the knee and was given another night off. "Pedey's still dealing with a little bit of swelling, and our approach with him has been to just get him as (healthy) as we can throughout the remaining games to have him as, like I said, most fresh and capable once we get to the next stage," manager John Farrell said. Asked if he can count on Pedroia for the postseason, the manager said, "I'm confident that he will because he's going to do whatever is needed or certainly whatever it takes. But in the interim, he's working to get a little of the swelling out of there today."

2B Dustin Pedroia, who left the Monday game in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off his nose, was back in the starting lineup Wednesday. Pedroia snapped an 0-for-18 skid with a two-run double in the eighth. He entered as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning on Tuesday and grounded into a double play.

2B Dustin Pedroia did not start Tuesday because of the nasal contusion he suffered in Monday's game. There was no more testing done to his nose, according to manager John Farrell, but the skipper said he could return to the starting lineup Wednesday. Pedro pinch hit in the 10th inning, however, in Tuesday's 1-0 victory. "He's sore, there's no question," Farrell said. "I would expect him to be back in the lineup tomorrow."

2B Dustin Pedroia had to leave Monday's game in the fourth inning after fouling a ball that bounced off home plate and hit him around the nose. The Red Sox said later that the injury was a nasal contusion. "He's sore; he was bleeding pretty good and that got him flush, right square in the nose," manager John Farrell said. "We'll see where he's at tomorrow."

2B Dustin Pedroia left in the fourth Monday due to a nasal contusion. He fouled a pitch off the plate, and it bounced into his nose.He stumbled away and went down to his knees, clutching the area around his nose.

2B Dustin Pedroia, DHing Thursday to rest his sore knee, had the first of three straight Red Sox doubles that snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning Thursday. The double extended his hitting streak against the A's to 27 straight games (.421) and left him trailing only Jose Altuve (29) and David Segui (28). He went 7-for-11 in the series and moved to within one RBI of tying Mo Vaughn for 13th place on the Red Sox's all-time RBI list.

2B Dustin Pedroia had three hits for the second straight night, extending his hitting streak against the Oakland A's to 26 games. That's third only to Jose Altuve (29) and David Segui (28) among streak against the A's since the franchise moved to Oakland. The 26 is the longest by a Red Sox player in the last 100 years against the Athletics -- Philadelphia to Kansas City to Oakland. Pedroia is 11-for-21 on the homestand that ends Thursday.

2B Dustin Pedroia now has a 25-game hitting streak against Oakland after going 3-for-4, scoring two runs and driving in one Tuesday night. It is the third-longest hitting streak against the A's since they moved to Oakland in 1968 -- Jose Altuve had a 29-gamer and David Segui 28. It was Pedroia's sixth three-hit game of the season.

2B Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run homer Saturday against the Rays, his first long ball since July 20. Pedroia's homer barely cleared the Green Monster in left field two batters into the Red Sox's first inning. "To see him get a pitch up in the strike zone and turn on it like he did, drive it out of the ballpark, those are all encouraging signs," manager John Farrell said. Pedroia finished 2-for-2 with two walks.

2B Dustin Pedroia, still bothered by a troublesome left knee, slid into the designated hitter spot Wednesday because of the impending wet field conditions. He hit in hard luck, lining out in the first inning and smashing into a double play in the fourth. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.

Pedroia is expected to be in the lineup for Sunday's game.

2B Dustin Pedroia (left knee inflammation) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Friday. Pedroia's third DL stint has lasted 21 games and he has missed a combined 29 games with the injury after being sidelined from Aug. 1-8. Manager John Farrell said when Pedroia returns, he won't initially play a full nine innings. "I think his confidence says how good he feels about himself physically," Farrell said. "And yet he hasn't been in games for weeks. So whether it's his knee, low back, hamstrings, just getting back active there's going to be some things we'll have to monitor. That will be something that we'll continue to work through in the early days of his return."
