Dustin Pedroia, who missed all but three games in the 2018 Championship season, is slated to
make his first Spring game appearance next weekend. That is, if all goes well with his balky knee at tomorrow's workout. According to manager
Alex Cora, that workout will include "everything"—ground balls, hitting and running. In October of 2017,
The Laser Show underwent left knee cartilage restoration surgery—which he now regrets doing. Said Cora,
"We have to (mark) all the check points. Workload and moving around. Spring training gives you a lot of information. So we’re tracking that and comparing with other players. And there’s a lot of factors that go in. We feel like hopefully if everything goes well on Monday, we’ll set a date towards the end of the week." Stay tuned for further
Muddy Chicken updates during the upcoming week.
