Pedroia Out For Red Sox-Yankees; Here's Wednesday's Lineup

BOSTON (CBS) -- Dustin Pedroia will sit out Wednesday's game between the Red Sox and Yankees. The second baseman was previously expected to play as he nurses knee and ankle injuries suffered last weekend in Baltimore.

Marco Hernandez will replace Pedroia at second base, while Josh Rutledge will enter the lineup at third base in place of Pablo Sandoval, whom the Red Sox recently placed on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained knee.
