    Dustin Pedroia sure thinks he will be in Red Sox lineup Friday

    When Dustin Pedroia collided with Chicago’s Jose Abreu, spraining his left wrist, it was fair to fear the worse. The wrist, after all, was the same one he had surgery on in 2014. But listening to Pedroia prior to the Red Sox’ game against the Orioles Saturday night, it sure seems this isn’t...
