Pedroia hurt the wrist while diving for a ball hit by Twins leadoff hitter Denard Span in the first inning. Pedroia made a throwing error on the same play. Angel Sanchez replaced Pedroia in the second inning.
"When he went after that ball, it was the back of his wrist," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "He had limited swelling. We're going to get him X-rayed in the morning, just because we should. Their doctor came over. I don't think there's a problem. He might be a little sore tomorrow. Hopefully that's all it is."
The Red Sox said Pedroia's status was day-to-day.
