Pedroia (knee) doesn't believe he'll need anything longer than a minimum 10-day stay on the injured list, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's certainly a positive that Pedroia is relatively unconcerned, but there's no guarantee the Red Sox feel the same way. The fact that he lasted just eight days into his return from knee surgery before needing to head back to the injured list with new knee troubles is certainly discouraging, though tests did confirm that the veteran avoided a serious injury.

Pedroia was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to left knee irritation, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Pedroia will need at least 10 days before returning to game action. In a corresponding move, Marcus Walden was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Pedroia (knee) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it's been confirmed that Pedroia avoided a significant injury to his surgically repaired left knee, Pedroia is expected to require at least a brief stint on the injured list. It's unclear if he'll be ready to come off the IL after the 10-day minimum, but the Red Sox are optimistic he'll return sooner rather than later, per Abraham.

Pedroia did not sustain a serious injury to his left knee Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pedroia exited Wednesday's game after feeling discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee, however initial tests indicate that the veteran second baseman avoided a serious injury. While this is a sigh of relief for Pedroia, who missed most of the 2018 campaign while recovering from left knee surgery, specifics regarding the injury remain unclear and it remains to be seen whether he will require a trip to the injured list. He'll meet up with the Red Sox in Tampa Bay to discuss his next step.

Pedroia will remain in New York to see a doctor Thursday after tweaking his knee against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pedroia apparently felt something was off during his lone at-bat Wednesday as he exited the game with left knee discomfort during the second inning. Manager Alex Cora indicated that the veteran second baseman was feeling "pretty down," according to Ian Browne of MLB.com, as he just managed to make his return from left knee surgery that sidelined him most of last year. More information should be available Thursday, but at this point a trip to the injured list appears to be a definite possibility.

Pedroia was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with left knee discomfort, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pedroia hit a flyout in his lone at-bat during the second inning and was replaced in the field by Eduardo Nunez shortly thereafter. The 35-year-old missed almost the entirety of 2018 as he underwent surgery on his left knee, so this is potentially a major development for Pedroia and the Red Sox.

Pedroia will serve as Boston's designated hitter and leadoff man in Monday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boston planned to deploy Pedroia atop the order Sunday, but he ended up slotting in sixth after typical table setter Andrew Benintendi was a late addition to the lineup as a replacement for Jackie Bradley (illness). Benintendi fouled a ball off his foot in the third inning that resulted in him sustaining a painful bruise, so he'll move to the bench in the series finale and open up the No. 1 spot in the lineup for Pedroia. While Benintendi's injury is viewed as a day-to-day situation, Pedroia should at least get a boost in DFS formats Monday as he faces off against Orioles righty Dan Straily.

Updating a previous report, Pedroia will serve as the Red Sox's designated hitter and will bat sixth Sunday against the Orioles, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Pedroia had been on track for leadoff duties, but the Red Sox scrapped those plans after Jackie Bradley was scratched from the lineup. Bradley's removal will open up a spot in the outfield for Andrew Benintendi, who will fill his usual duties atop the batting order.
