He is expected to undergo an MRI exam on Monday in Boston.
Pedroia was forced to leave Friday's game in the eighth inning
when he was spiked in the left calf by Baltimore's Manny
Machado. Pedroia has swelling in both the knee and ankle.
Also, Red Sox right-hander Matt Barnes was ejected Sunday after
hitting Manny Machado with a pitch in the eighth inning. Machado
had injured Pedroia with a hard slide Friday.

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones was placed on the
disabled list with a left lip laceration after being hit in the
face by a pitch from Minnesota Twins reliever Justin Haley
during Saturday's game.
Jones suffered a split lip that needed nine stitches but avoided
further damage. He left the game with his mouth bleeding. He was
taken to a hospital and underwent a CT scan.
The Tigers selected the contract of outfielder Jim Adduci from
Triple-A Toledo before Sunday's finale in Minnesota. Adduci, 31,
was signed by the team in the offseason after playing in Korea.
The Tigers are also without first baseman Miguel Cabrera
(groin), shortstop Jose Iglesias (concussion) and outfielder
J.D. Martinez (foot).

The Seattle Mariners designated struggling center fielder Leonys
Martin for assignment after he was benched by the team.
The left-handed-hitting Martin is batting just .111 with no home
runs or RBIs in 54 at-bats in 15 games. Jarrod Dyson replaced
Martin as the Mariners' starting center fielder, moving over
from left field.
The move allowed Seattle to recall first baseman Dan Vogelbach
from Triple-A Tacoma. Vogelbach, 24, was hitting .309 with two
homers and 14 RBIs for Tacoma. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
