Red Sox place Dustin Pedroia on DL with knee inflammation

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been placed on the 10-day disabled list because of inflammation in his surgically repaired left knee.

The move is retroactive to May 30.

The Red Sox also have recalled first baseman Sam Travis and left-hander Bobby Poyner from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill the roster spots of Pedroia and Mookie Betts, who was placed on the DL on Friday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora on Friday said he wasn't sure how long Pedroia will be out.

"He's a big part of what we're trying to accomplish,'' Cora said.
