Red Sox’s Pedroia expected to have foot surgery Friday

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia(notes) is expected to have a season-ending surgical procedure to insert a screw into his broken left foot Friday, according to The Boston Globe.
Pedroia suffered the injury in late June, returned for two football jerseys
games in mid-August and then went back on the disabled list. He and the team had hoped that additional rest would allow Pedroia to play again this season, but the healing process apparently hasn't been as successful as they had hoped.
If Pedroia indeed opts for surgery, he is expected to be fully recovered by spring training.
In 75 games this season, Pedroia is hitting .288 with 12 homers and 41 RBIs.
Pedroia would be the third player from the Red Sox's projected opening day lineup to be reebok nfl jersey
lost for the season. Center fielder Mike Cameron(notes) (abdomen) and first baseman Kevin Youkilis(notes) (finger) were shut down for good last month, and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury(notes) (ribs) also is unlikely to play again this season, though he hasn't officially been ruled out.
