ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia said he got good news about the irritation in his left knee that caused his return to the 10-day injured list. The 35-year-old started the season on the injured list with inflammation in his left knee and was activated April 9. “The brace I wear is strapped around, so it kind of like torqued and my knee didn’t.”Red Sox manager Alex Cora originally thought the injury could be serious. When he’s ready, he’s ready.”Pedroia will use a different type of brace when he returns. Pedroia has appeared in six games with Boston, making four starts at second base and two as a designated hitter.
