What It Means:

After dealing with knee soreness for nearly a month, Pedroia returned from the disabled list for last night's game. But, after going just 1-for-4 with three strikeouts, he's back on the bench for today's game against the Yankees. In his place, Tzu-Wei Lin will man second and hit ninth.

As Pedroia gets back into the flow, we like him to produce 5 extra-base hits, 8 RBI and 10 runs over the rest of the 2017 season.
