Lest anyone think that Dustin Pedroia might be able to return right quick from a fractured foot, here’s Peter Abraham to spit on your dreams:
Dustin Pedroia’s Timetable Tentatively Set At Six Weeks For Return From Broken Foot
My buddy Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus has the best sources and information when it comes to injuries. He reports that Pedroia will miss six weeks. Given all the off days and the All-Star break, that’s five weeks of games. Not great, of course, but it could be worse.
Pedroia will be re-examined on Monday, but the likelihood is that he’s done for a month and a half. Bill Hall has started Boston’s last two games at second base, and Eric Patterson, of course, is another option.
