Pedroia says he is fully healthy
FORT MYERS, FL (AP) – Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has reported early to spring training camp and says his left foot is fully healed.
Pedroia appeared in only 75 games last year – the fewest he’s played in since making his big league debut in 2006 – after fouling a ball off his foot July 25 in San Francisco. That was the day after he hit a career-high three home runs in Colorado.
Pedroia says Friday his foot is repaired. He says there’s a screw inside holding everything together and it feels much better.
The 2008 AL MVP expects to be monitored this spring and won’t take part in the team’s conditioning drills. But he doesn’t anticipate any setbacks and he’s ready for all his hard work in rehabilitation to pay off on the field.
