Dustin Pedroia is making nice progress and can start his Single-A Greenville rehab project April 4.
The Boston Red Sox second baseman started the 2019 Major League Baseball season on the Injured List as he continues to get better from knee procedures he underwent final yr. Pedroia appeared in simply three video games in 2018 earlier than re-injuring his knee and being shut down for the season.
According to WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford, the 35-year-old performed in “eight successful innings” Sunday morning, and has 9 extra scheduled for Tuesday.
Pedroia has mentioned he was hopeful to return by April 9 — the Sox’s dwelling opener — however supervisor Alex Cora wouldn’t say sure or no as as to whether his second baseman could be prepared by then.
“I don’t want to get ahead of myself,” Cora informed Bradford.
His response is truthful. Cora possible doesn’t need to present any false hope to followers and particularly Pedroia, who’s in all probability probably the most anxious to return to the diamond.
