Remember
Dustin Pedroia? You know, the scrappy leader of
The Carmine Hose and winner of both the
Rookie of The Year and
Most Valuable Player awards? Yeah, that's the one.
The Laser Show has been
out with hamstring issues since July 22nd—after missing 16 games earlier in the season. Now, he won't be returning until
after Labor Day—September 10th to be precise. Said interim manager
Torey Lovullo,
"We don’t want to put any of our guys in harm’s way. He’s one of our best players, our leaders, we’ll be missing him for a while, but it’s giving other guys a chance to play and perform. We need Dustin, we want Dustin, and we know he’s going to be back as soon as possible." Functionally, however, it's 'wait 'til next year' for
The Muddy Chicken.
