Dustin Pedroia (knee) may wind up on Red Sox' disabled list

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) could be placed on the disabled list.

What It Means:

Pedroia has missed three straight contests due to soreness in his left knee. A specialist will determine whether or not the issue warrants a stint on the DL. Eduardo Nunez is filling the void at second base again on Monday for Boston.

The 33-year-old veteran is slashing .307/.381/.411 with 6 homers, 54 RBI, and 4 steals in 383 plate appearances (85 games) this season. numberFire's models project Pedroia to post a .308 average, with 3 home runs, 21 RBI, and 3 steals in over 223 plate appearances remaining this season.
