Dustin Pedroia can’t catch a break.
Just a few days after the Boston Red Sox second baseman left a game due to knee soreness, he was pulled from Monday’s contest in Chicago with another injury.
Pedroia collided with Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu in the first inning of Monday’s game at Guaranteed Rate Field, as Abreu just beat Pedroia by sliding into first after fielding a groundball.
Pedroia suffered a sprained left wrist on the play and did not return. Josh Rutledge took over at second base.
Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters after the game that Pedroia will return to Boston for an MRI on his wrist. It’s the same wrist Pedroia injured and had surgery on during the 2014 season.
