Now that they’ve got a winning record under their belt, it’s time to focus on a different issue — when they can expect to get some of their injured players back.
The Sox have been playing without players like Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford and Andrew Bailey for most of the season. These injuries have created holes in the team and caused Bobby Valentine to shuffle the positions — including sending Adrian Gonzalez to the outfield. As the season wears on, Red Sox fans have questions about when their favorite players are returning and how serious their injuries really are.
NESN.com Red Sox reporter Didier Morais took to Twitter on Thursday to answer your questions about Dustin Pedroia‘s thumb injury, whether Jarrod Saltalamacchia is All-Star material, the pitching rotation and when Crawford is going to return.
Fans used the hashtag #NESNLive to join the talk on Thursday. Check out the conversation below.
