| Player Notes |
| November 12, 2007 Dustin Pedroia received the AL's Rookie of the Year Award Monday, finishing well ahead of runner-up Delmon Young. Pedroia hit .317 with 39 doubles, rebounding nicely after a terrible first month with the Red Sox (.172 average). |
| August 23, 2007 Dustin Pedroia was in the initial lineup Thursday but then scratched. Pedroia left Wednesday's game after being hit in the elbow by a pitch. X-rays on the elbow were negative, according to the AP. |
| July 29, 2007 Dustin Pedroia (sore ribs) was out of the starting lineup for the second straight game Saturday, the AP reports. Both Pedroia and Terry Francona said the infielder will play Sunday. "He certainly could play," Francona said. "Sometimes it makes sense not to. Just take advantage of one more night." |
| June 14, 2007 Dustin Pedroia was given a routine day off Wednesday, the AP reports. |
| June 13, 2007 Manager Terry Francona installed Dustin Pedroia, who is batting .314 on the year, in the leadoff spot on Tuesday night and moved Julio Lugo to the bottom of the order, according to the Boston Globe. "Early in the year, we tried to protect him a bit," Francona said. "We think he's proven he's going to get on base and give you a good at-bat, and swing at strikes for the most part. He's a big part of our ball club, and we value guys getting on base in front of the middle of our order." |
| April 25, 2007 Dustin Pedroia was benched against a righty starter Wednesday at Baltimore, though he's expected to start Thursday against lefty Adam Loewen, the Red Sox official site reports. Pedroia has struggled against all pitching this year; he's 8-for-38 against righties, and 1-for-9 against lefties. Terry Francona also mentioned that he wanted to use Alex Cora Wednesday because the vet had a strong history against Baltimore starter Daniel Cabrera; Cora repaid the faith with a couple of hits, including a homer. |
| April 18, 2007 Dustin Pedroia went 0-for-3 Wednesday and is now in a 1-for-22 slump. He's hitting .188 for the season. |
| March 20, 2007 Dustin Pedroia, who was hit on the left hand by a pitch on Saturday, will return to the lineup today, according to the Boston Herald. Pedroia is slated to be the Red Sox's starting second baseman this year. |
| March 19, 2007 Dustin Pedroia reported little pain or swelling Sunday in his left pinky, which was struck by a pitch on Saturday, according to the Boston Herald. It looks like he should be back in game action on Tuesday. |
| March 18, 2007 Dustin Pedroia was hit by a pitch on the knuckle of his left pinkie Saturday, according to the Boston Globe. X-rays were negative, but Pedroia will be held out the next few days as a precaution. "It was scary at first, because in '05 in my first week at Pawtucket I got hit on the other hand and was injured," Pedroia said. |
| March 13, 2007 Even though Dustin Pedroia is hitting just .143, Red Sox manager Terry Francona has made it clear the rookie is a lock to start at second base when the season begins, according to the Boston Herald. "Once I get my timing down, the hits will start coming and Ill be fine," he said. "Im definitely going to be ready for the season." |
