Dustin Pedroia exits Red Sox game with wrist injury

CHICAGO -- Not the wrist.

When it was the knee, Dustin Pedroia played through it. He finished his 2016 season with an .825 OPS, his best since 2011, then had arthroscopic knee surgery shortly after the season ended. He hurt his knee again last week, but again has been playing through it.

The wrist can present different issues, and unfortunately for the Red Sox, that’s the latest injury for their star second baseman.

Pedroia left Monday’s game against the Red Sox with a sprained left wrist, the bottom hand for a right-handed hitter. He tumbled over White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu while running out a groundout in the first inning and landed awkwardly on his wrists.
