Sox Streakers for June 9 »
June 9, 2007
Second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been having a problem with persistent nosebleeds lately.
He said he woke up yesterday morning and realized that he had had a nosebleed during the night, the blood collecting in his chest.
About five minutes before last night's game, Pedroia said, the Diamondbacks' team physician cauterized his nose. But Pedroia suffered another nosebleed this morning, so he thought he'd have to have it cauterized again.
He thinks its a case of allergies that has been causing his problem. Pedroia was not in the starting lineup, but it wasn't because of his nose issues. Manager Terry Francona opted to start Alex Cora, a left-handed hitter, because Pedroia, a right-handed hitter, will be starting tomorrow against left-hander Randy Johnson.
