On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox have activated second baseman Dustin Pedroia from the disabled list. Prior to hitting the DL with a fractured foot, he had hit 12 home runs with an .871 OPS.
Dustin Pedroia Activated From Disabled List
Over the past six weeks, second base duties have largely fallen to Bill Hall, who had managed to smack nine home runs and maintain an .837 OPS in his stead. In addition to Pedroia’s bat, the Red Sox also figure to benefit from his fielding -- he’s only committed two errors in 2010, good for a .994 fielding percentage. With the Sox still in the playoff hunt, they’ll need every edge they can get.
