Better late than never: Red Sox activate 2B Pedroia from DL

Published Sep. 8, 2015 3:40 p.m. ET

The Boston Red Sox have activated second baseman Dustin Pedroia from the 15-day disabled list prior to Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

He is in the starting lineup, batting second and playing second.

The 32-year-old has been sidelined since July 23 because of a right hamstring strain — the second time this season that his troublesome hamstring sent him to the DL. Pedroia was playing in just his sixth game back from a three-plus-week stay on the DL when he reinjured the hamstring.
