After a brief knee scare, Dustin Pedroia is back in the Red Sox lineup Friday night as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Pedroia missed Thursday night's game in New York, as he was sent to Boston for tests on his knee. Though surgery was believed to have been a possibility, it turned out to just be a bruise. He'll hop right back into the lineup on Friday.
He'll face Jo-Jo Reyes, who doesn't have a ton of experience against the Red Sox. One player who does have a history against him is Adrian Gonzalez, who's hitting 3-for-6 with four walks (.700 OBP) in his career against Reyes. Mike Cameron is 3-for-8 with two dingers against him, and he'll be batting eighth for Boston.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who battled stomach issues in New York, also returns.
Both lineups are below.
