More than two weeks after he returned to the disabled list for a second time this season
Kyle Brodziak Jersey , the Boston Red Sox have no timetable for second baseman Dustin Pedroia’s return.Pedrioa underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee last October and began the season on the disabled list. He began a minor league rehab
assignment last month and was added to the Boston roster on May 26.But Pedroia lasted just three games, going 1 for 11 with a pair of walks, and when soreness in the knee remained, the team put him back on the shelf on May
30.“It was a major surgery,” manager Alex Cora said. “We didn’t know what to expect, so we are where we are now. We’re hoping that, yeah, he’ll be back.
When? We don’t know. But I still believe he’s going to contribute this season
and he’s going to help us to win.”Without Pedroia in the lineup
Authentic P.J. Hall Jersey , Cora has turned primarily to Eduardo Nunez at second base with Brock Holt getting 17 starts as well. Overall, Red Sox second basemen
have combined for a .614 OPS and rank second-to-last in baseball with a minus-12
Defensive Runs Saved.Nunez will likely get the nod again Wednesday night as the Red Sox continue their three-game series with the Twins at Target Field behind left-hander David
Price, who is 6-0 with a 2.64 ERA over his last seven starts.“Better fastball command, just commanding the baseball better,” Price said of his recent success. “Making better pitches with runners in scoring position.
That was a big problem for me in the times I struggled this year, just runners
in scoring position. Four two-out runs in Oakland that day. All the runs were
with two outs. Same thing my third outing against Tampa back at home. That was
two-run outs as well.”Price is 10-3 with a 2.52 ERA in 17 games, 16 of them starts, against the Twins.Lance Lynn
Authentic Rashaad Penny Jersey , the Twins’ scheduled starter, is starting to look much more like the pitcher Minnesota had in mind when it signed the veteran
right-hander to a one-year deal during spring training.Lynn slumped out to a 8.37 ERA through his first five starts but has gone 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA in eight starts since, working at least six innings in all but
two of those outings.He struck out a season-high nine with just one walk his last time out but took his first loss since May 16 after the Tigers for tagged him for three runs
in the seventh inning.“You’ve got to get through the seventh there. I wasn’t able to do it,” Lynn said after the game. “Everything was still there. Just made one bad pitch and
ran into a barrel. … Ended up giving up three runs and it cost us the win.”Lynn has three career starts against the Red Sox, going 0-1 with a 1.89 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 19 innings of work. He last faced Boston late in the 2017
season but did not take a decision after allowing two runs on seven hits over
six innings.Chris Long and Malcolm Jenkins spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since the NFL implemented its anthem policy. The Eagles players, among the NFL’s
most vocal and socially aware, backed up their statements they posted on social
media last week.“I think it?? a still a bad idea and something that was unnecessary,??Jenkins said Tuesday
Youth Arden Key Jersey , via Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. ??ut now there?? a media storm the league has kind of brought on itself.??/p>
Long said the move to force players who are on the field to stand during the national anthem was reactionary and has made things “messier.”??t?? their right, but I think it was a dumb move and I think it was clumsy,??Long said. ?? don?? think it was rooted in patriotism. I love this
country; I love our vets. The guys protesting love our country and love our
vets. I think it was driven by fear of a diminished bottom line, which I already
wrote on Twitter. You can see that on Twitter. The underlying factor is they??e
afraid of the President. I don?? really need to expound much on that. It?? their
right, again, but it?? a clumsy rule.??/p>
Jenkins stopped raising a fist during the anthem after the NFL struck a deal with a coalition of players for the league to pledge $89 million for projects
dealing with racial inequality. Jenkins, who heads the Players Coalition, said
the progress made from that was lost in the league’s new national anthem
policy.??t?? definitely discouraging because I definitely thought we were moving to a place where players obviously wanted a platform and we could create something
that was maybe more effective and bigger
Kerryon Johnson Jersey ,??Jenkins said. ?? think there?? been a ton of effort and time put into creating that, but then there?? decision that kind of
undermines that. I thought the league genuinely was building that, but then when
you start trying to mandate things, it?? less likely to help.”
