Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia does not have a serious injury to his left wrist, according to a baseball source.
Further tests are being done in Boston today, but Pedroia should be fine, based on the preliminary results.
Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:Okay, this is fantastic news. Put him on the 15 day and let him rest it for a couple of weeks.

Thing is, I thought he set it up in a way that only I could see that text, since I tried viewing it after signing out and it didn't show up. It also didn't show up in any quoted posts. It's hilarious that it's visible globally.
I know the way he just wills his bones to not break! If other guys were just as tough, especially the soft tall guys!Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:I'm not surprised, given who it is.
I was referring to him probably not going on the DL, but thanks for contributing.reggiecleveland said:I know the way he just wills his bones to not break! If other guys were just as tough, especially the soft tall guys!
Sampo Gida said:This happened before with Pedey in June of 2011. During a series in the Bronx he was sent back for tests on his knee. There was talk of needing surgery and it was given as the reason for his poor performance over the last month or so. Tests were fine, and he came back and went on a tear, I remember being amazed at the quick recovery,

Could be a pyschological thing where the pain or discomfort isn't really enough to physically inhibit him, but it is enough to plant the seeds of doubt that it could get worse. As a result, he babies it, hesitates on pushing it, makes unnecessary adjustments to protect it, etc. Once he gets the medical confirmation that he's okay and not going to cause further damage, he gets right back to normal.

He's [Middlebrooks] begun baseball activities. Doesn't sound like it will be much longer.

I thought the report on one of the games over the weekend was that it would be a while longer. Whoever was talking indicated that "It wasn't a complete tear, but it was almost a complete tear. He's hitting, but he still can't run."
Middlebrooks resumed baseball activities before Wednesday’s game at Fenway Park and plans to take swings off the tee and ramp up his agility drills this weekend in New York. With any luck, he will be ready to come off the disabled list on April 20, the first day he’s eligible, possibly after a brief minor league rehab assignment.

Yeah, it was a grade 1, not even really a tear - more of a strain.Plympton91 said:

Sounds like they were worried about a non-displaced fracture for Pedroia - since there wasn't one, the presumptive diagnosis is a wrist sprain - I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a cortisone injection and he takes a couple more days off to see how it responds before going back into a game. I'm thinking... Thursday.
