Pedroia Says He'll Be Back On Tuesday

Dustin Pedroia took batting practice at Skydome on Saturday and announced that would be back in the lineup on Tuesday night against the Orioles at Fenway.

I'm ready to go. They're making me wait until after [Monday's] off day. That's the plan, but if an emergency happens, I'll be ready. ... I hit today on the field and I felt normal. Once I come back on Tuesday, there's not going to be a problem. I'll be out there every day.

The team has not issued any official statement.
