Dustin Pedroia sits out third straight game with bruised back
Credit: CourtesyKANSAS CITY – With a significant portion of his back still all shades of blue and purple, Dustin Pedroia tried to convince his manager to let him play this afternoon, but John Farrell turned him down.
“I think we kind of took it out of his hands,” Farrell said. “This is a guy that wants to be on the field. He wants to play. But while that pooling of fluids has come to the surface, it’s gaining some mobility, but still when he went down to try to swing in the cage, there’s still some restriction there.”
