Pedroia's Knee Surgery Will Keep Him Off Field Until May

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia underwent knee surgery this week and is expected to miss the start of the 2018 season, according to the team.

Pedroia underwent cartilage restoration procedure on his left knee on Monday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Riley Williams III at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The procedure was deemed a success. 

He is expected to be out approximately seven months.
