NEW YORK -- Dustin Pedroia returned from the disabled to DH on Tuesday, and John Farrell suggested he might play the field on Wednesday.
Instead, Pedroia was on the bench Wednesday, and the Red Sox had a scheduled off day yesterday, and Pedroia's still not in the lineup tonight.
Having technically returned from his latest bout left knee soreness, Pedroia has played just one of four days he's been eligible. The loss has been minimized by the arrival of Eduardo Nunez has an offensively strong alternative, but it's surely a bit worrisome that Pedroia hasn't been able to play with any regularity after missing almost all of two weeks.
