THE WESTFIELD NEWS www.thewestfieldnews.com SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2019 - PAGE 9 SPORTS Pedroia on missing another opener: ‘It is what it is’ FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Dustin Pedroia feels ready for opening day. Considering what it took to get to that point, the Boston Red Sox are erring on the side of caution. Pedroia will miss Boston’s opener for the second straight season, staying in extended spring training to rehab his left knee, on which he had surgeries each of the past two offseasons. Pedroia, a key figure for the Red Sox dur- ing most of his 13-year career, believes he’s ready to go but understands why the reigning World Series champions are hesitant. “It is what it is,” he said. “I don’t think the team was expecting me to come in and look the way I look, so they just want to make sure they do it right. That’s basically it. They’ve had to hold me back. I mean, I’m ready for opening day. It’s just that they’re scared. No one’s ever come back from something like this.” The 2008 AL MVP started at second base against the split-squad Rays on Thursday night and will play in some of the remaining exhibition games in Florida and when Boston travels to Arizona to play the Cubs on Monday and Tuesday. The team just isn’t confident he could be ready for the season opener March 28 against the Mariners in Seattle. Liberty guard Caleb Homesley celebrates after scoring against Mississippi State during the second half of “We’re running out of time,” manager Alex Cora said. “There’s been no a first-round game in the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament Friday, March 22, 2019, in San Jose, setbacks, nothing out of the ordinary.

There’s no target date (for his activation).” Cora wants to keep Pedroia progressing steadily. The 35-year-old Pedroia has three years remaining on a $110 million, eight-year contract, and Boston wants to get as many games out of him in that time as possible. “This is not only for this year,” Cora said. “It’s a plan for three years. We Liberty upsets Mississippi St need him to keep playing and he’ll be OK.” “I feel like I’m ready, but they want to see how my knee responds when I (play back-to-back games),” Pedroia said. “Which I understand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 23, 2019: This year you often can be found day- dreaming and creating more of what you want. If single, you draw your share of ad- mirers. Pick someone who understands you and can go to extremes. The two of you will laugh the day away. If attached, your relationship deepens as you share a DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker common goal and manifest it. The two of you will bond more tightly. SCORPIO matches your intensity. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH When you focus on someone or something, your intensity can be felt by many people around you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have several choices among plans and company. Only you know what makes you most content. Now is the time to manifest a long-term desire.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone comes toward you. This Crosswords person could be a delight in general, but your focus is elsewhere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You become nearly childlike in your choices and what goes on. Your af- fection for another person emerges. You can be fun, perky, and perhaps a little shy. The other party could be delighted by your attention. Tonight: Party the night away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Tension soars around the home front. You might feel as if you cannot win, no matter what. Calm down and relax. A Mastroianni and Hart loved one lets you know, in no uncertain B.C. terms, where he or she is coming from.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Others look to you for ideas and the possibility of change. You could see a situation differently from other people. You might not realize how often people use you as a resource. Tonight: Beam in much more of what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Much is going on behind the scenes.
