Pedroia goes on DL again
Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with inflammation in his left knee.
Pedroia, who leads the Red Sox with a .307 batting average, is on the DL for the second time this season. He missed nine games in early June with a sprained left wrist.
Boston added reliever Addison Reed to the roster, one day after obtaining him in a trade with the New York Mets for three minor league pitchers.
