HOUSTON (AP) — Dustin Pedroia has been scratched from Boston’s game against the Houston Astros on Thursday night because of a sore left knee.
He was scratched about 20 minutes before first pitch and the team says he is day-to-day.
Brock Holt moved from right field to second base to take Pedroia’s place and Blake Swihart was inserted into the lineup to play right field.
