Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia may not return in 2018

When the Boston Red Sox will see Dustin Pedroia back on the field remains a mystery, even to him.

Pedroia flew home to Arizona this week to continue rehab with a physical therapist that he worked with during the offseason. The veteran second baseman is recovering from surgery that he underwent on his left knee last October.

Pedroia opened the 2018 season on the disabled list. He returned to the team in late-May but lasted only three games before landing back on the DL with soreness in his surgically repaired knee.

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Pedroia acknowledged that the clock is ticking on a potential return this season.
