Dustin Pedroia fouled a ball off his left ankle on Saturday afternoon against the New York Yankees, giving the Boston Red Sox a scare.
A team trainer tended to Pedroia, who remained in the game and eventually struck out swinging. He was removed from the game in the next half inning.
Preliminary tests taken on Pedroia's foot and ankle area were negative.
"He's sore," John Farrell said. "The foul ball got him just above the ankle on the shin. We'll check him in the morning, but at this point we don't anticipate him missing any time. ... If he comes in tomorrow with any increased soreness, we'll take every precaution needed."
