Pedroia (knee) played six innings in the field and went 2-for-3 with an RBI and run scored Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Pedroia is also set to play in two more spring training games, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. While it's already been announced that he will begin the season on the injured list, Pedroia continues to see game action while he makes progress towards a return to the lineup.

Manager Alex Cora said Monday that Pedroia (knee) will open the season on the Red Sox's injured list, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cora stressed that Pedroia has experienced no setbacks with his surgically-repaired left knee since making his Grapefruit League debut March 7, but the Red Sox want to give the veteran more time to build up after he missed nearly all of the 2018 campaign. Pedroia will continue to play in some of the Red Sox's remaining exhibitions before sticking around in Florida when the team heads north to take part in additional extended spring training games. Cora noted that the Red Sox's main goal is getting Pedroia ready to play games on back-to-back days, so once the 35-year-old is able to do that, his activation should come soon after. Brock Holt and Eduardo Nunez will likely share duties at the keystone until Pedroia is ready to return from the IL.

Pedroia (knee) is not in the lineup for either of Boston's split-squad games Sunday, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Pedroia will get the day off after playing Saturday for the first time since in four days. The Red Sox are expected to determine Pedroia's availability for Opening Day in the near future, and figure to make an announcement when they make the final call.

Pedroia (knee) started at second base, played five innings and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

With a little under two weeks remaining before the start of the regular season, Pedroia still has a few milestones to hit before the Red Sox declare him ready for Opening Day. There have been no setbacks, but he hasn't played a full game yet, nor as he played the field on back-to-back days. The Red Sox will evaluate him and provide an update on his status Sunday, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com.

The Red Sox are expected to determine by Sunday whether Pedroia (knee) will be ready to play in the March 28 season opener versus the Mariners or require additional time to ramp up at extended spring training, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since making his Grapefruit League debut March 7, Pedroia hasn't reported any setbacks with his surgically repaired left knee, but the Red Sox are still proceeding cautiously with the veteran after he was limited to just three regular-season appearances in 2018. Per Ian Browne of MLB.com, Pedroia will bat leadoff in Saturday's exhibition versus the Braves and play around five innings at second base, after which the Red Sox should decide his fate for the start of the regular season. If Pedroia is left off the Opening Day roster, he would likely be in line for only a brief stint on the injured list, thereby paving the way for Brock Holt or Eduardo Nunez to see extra starts at the keystone in the short term.

Pedroia started at second base and played four innings, going 1-for-2 in Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora said he planned on increasing Pedroia's workload this week, so expect to see the second baseman increase his innings and eventually play in the field on back-to-back days.

Pedroia started at second base and played two innings Saturday against the Mets, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox said Pedroia would increase his workload in his second start, but played the same number of innings as he did in his first spring start. He made a couple of routine plays in the field and ran hard on a groundball out. He'll get off days Sunday and Monday before returning to the diamond Tuesday, when the team plans to ramp up his workload.

Pedroia will start at second base Saturday against the Mets, Mark Feisand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Pedroia's second spring appearance after missing nearly 10 months due to knee surgery. He played two innings Thursday and is expected to increase that workload by an inning Saturday. The Red Sox aren't concerned about how may at-bats he gets, as Pedroia can always compete in the minor-league games once they begin next week.

Pedroia singled in his only at-bat and cleanly handled the one chance he had in the field Thursday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Pedroia made his spring debut Thursday, playing two innings at second base. This was his first game appearance in nearly 10 months due to knee surgery. As proof that he's feeling fine, Pedroia scurried to second on a passed ball, then scored on a double. Pedroia said he is modulating his in-game activity so as to not put a strain on the knee, per Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald.

Pedroia (knee) is starting at second base in Thursday's spring game against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pedroia will see game action Thursday for the first time in just over 11 months. The Red Sox plan to limit his usage this season, and that will happen right out of the gate, as he is scheduled to play only two innings Thursday, according to Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald. Pedroia will be guaranteed at least one at-bat, as he will hit leadoff in his spring debut.
