Pedroia out with renewed left knee pain

[notin]

My hunch is Ramirez was brought up solely for the role he was used in the other day: to eat innings in a blow-out game. Walden has pitched a bunch and Velazquez wasn’t available to fill the role. He is now. There was no intent to keep Ramirez.

Once a player is sent down, he has to stay in the minors for 10 days unless another player is placed on the IL. They couldn’t bring Walden back for Ramirez directly so they first subbed Walden for Pedroia and then Lin for Ramirez.

But it wasn’t really a blowout game until after Ramirez pitched...

Once he was”selected” and placed on the 40 man roster, he’s no longer on a minor league contract and all the normal option clauses kick in.

Thanks for the clarification.

Sad, but predictable. Pedroia needs to get off the ball field and into a knee brace permanently to delay the need for a total knee replacement, which I think he will eventually need. As for the Red Sox, its time to move on.

Time to go

Reportedly, it is just a minor setback . So let's not be too quick to rule him out.

Now Nunez is back on the IL, this time with a back strain. We need some healthy players!

We probably contracted injury-itis at Yankee Stadium.

It is most definitely the Yankees' fault.

There's no other reasonable explanation.

Everything is their fault.

My aunt’s gout is the Yankee’s fault!!

I know he wasn't great last year, but I thought they should have retained Kinsler.

Pedroia was done and we all knew it.

Who needs healthy players? Yankees had 6 starters on the DL and kicked the Sox ass.

Who hasn't?

So, not as serious as we thought. We are going to be hearing about this all year. This is probably his last season. If he doesnt retire, they will DL him next year and pay him to stay away from the team (like the Yankees with Ellsbury).

This was talked about in another thread, but best used here. Pedroia was scratched from his most recent game with renewed knee soreness. He has looked gimpy in his rehab starts and hasn't hit anywhere since 2017. He had a good run, but he is done.
