The scan he had last Friday showed his fractured left foot is healing ahead of schedule, and he’s been itching to get back to game action. There’s a possibility he will be sent back to Boston during the club’s current three-city road trip for another exam.
“I don’t know,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “He’s pushing us to fly the doctor out, but we haven’t got there yet.”
Francona will talk with the medical staff before a decision is made on whether Pedroia will return to Boston or stay with the team.
During batting practice prior to Monday night's game, Pedroia served as a first baseman as Eric Patterson took grounders at second.
