Dustin Pedroia rejoined the Red Sox immediately following the All-Star break after 16 missing games due to a strained right hamstring, but now he’s headed right back to the disabled list with the very same injury.
According to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, Pedroia didn’t aggravate the hamstring on a specific play. It’s worth noting that he didn’t go on a minor league rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Red Sox last week, though there’s no guarantee that would have made a difference in how things played out. He went 1-for-22 after being activated, which has dropped his batting average from .306 to .287 on the year.
The Red Sox beat the Tigers in 11 innings last night, but still sit at 43-54 on the year, 11 games back in the American League East. And things don’t figure to get much better with another extended absence for one of their most important players.
