Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia vows to manage knee upon return to

[wang1993]

NEW YORK -- Welcome back, Dustin Pedroia. How long might you be staying? Pedroia was Dellin Betances Jersey reinstated from the disabled list on Friday and is expected to reintegrated into the Boston Red Sox lineup. He missed all but one game in August due to two trips to the DL with a left knee injury that president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski recently said is something "we're Don Larsen Jersey going to have to watch for the rest of his career." It's fair, then, to wonder whether Pedroia will be able to return to an everyday role at second base, the position he has played since his debut in 2006 and one that has taken a physical toll on much larger players over the years. "We changed a lot Don Mattingly Jersey on how to take care of it. So far, so good," said Pedroia, who declined to get into specifics. "Testing it, the amount of stuff I've put on it, the next day coming in and I'm OK. As long as that keeps Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey happening I don't think there will be that much of a limit." Asked if he will be able to play with his usual all-out aggressiveness, Pedroia didn't flinch. "Absolutely," he said.
