MESA Kendall Graveman Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — Steve Pearce will start the season on the injured list for the Boston Red Sox.The 2018 World Series MVP exited an exhibition game last weekend due to discomfort in his left calf. Pearce, a right-handed batter, normally platoons with lefty-hitting Mitch Moreland at first base. But the Red Sox will begin defense of their championship Thursday in Seattle without Pearce.“We have to do it that way,” manager Alex Cora said Monday night. “It makes sense for us, it makes sense for him. He should be back sooner rather than later but he won’t be ready for Seattle, so why take a chance?”Sam Travis will likely make the team and take Pearce’s spot on the opening-day roster.“He’s been swinging the bat, he plays first, he’s a right-handed hitter,” Cora said. “It seems like we’re going to face a lot of lefties on the West Coast. Having a right-handed bat would help us out.”Pearce was acquired from Toronto in a trade last June and batted a combined .284 with 11 homers, 42 RBIs and an .890 OPS in 76 games with the Blue Jays and Red Sox last season. He was 4 for 12 (.333) with three homers, eight RBIs and a 1.167 OPS in the World Series victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Pearce became a free agent and re-signed with Boston for one year and $6.25 million.Boston nearly lost another player to a much more serious injury when pitcher Rick Porcello was hit in the head by a line drive during Monday night’s 3-2 exhibition loss to the Chicago Cubs.Willson Contreras hit a liner that deflected off Porcello’s head in the second inning. Porcello, however, was checked by an athletic trainer, threw a few warmup pitches and stayed in the game.Cora was doubtful at first about keeping Porcello in the game. The right-hander told the trainer to touch his head where the ball hit him.“He barked like a dog and scared the living whatever out of me,” said Cora, who jumped off the mound. “I told him, ‘Now I’m going to be on TV for the rest of my career for the wrong reasons.'”Porcello was able to laugh about the play after his outing.“It ricocheted,” he said. “I got up, I felt fine, I wasn’t wobbly or dizzy or anything like that. I was fine.”In his final tuneup for the regular season Jose Canseco Jersey , Porcello gave up two runs and four hits over four innings, including a solo homer to opposing pitcher Cole Hamels in the third.“He’s tough,” Hamels said. “I don’t know where it hit him. We don’t have instant replay — and I’m glad we don’t so we didn’t have to relive it. He looked fine when he was coming off.”In other news, Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia will start Tuesday in the spring training finale against the Cubs. Pedroia was limited to three games last season after undergoing a microfracture procedure and cartilage replacement in his left knee in October 2017.The 35-year-old Pedroia hosted Red Sox players and coaches Sunday night at his home in the Phoenix area.“He’s in a good place,” Cora said. “I was joking with him because for that kid who played in Anaheim, in his first big league game in 2006, I still remember he was 5-6, chubby. He hates that I say that but he was. To see the house he has, I’m like, ‘Wow. You did well, bro. What a story, you should write a book.’ It was amazing. Obviously, in this environment, you go to some nice houses. They should do that show again — ‘Cribs’ — and go to Pedroia’s.”How important would it be for the Red Sox to get a healthy Pedroia back?“It’s good,” Cora said. “Forget the player – for him to be happy, that’s the most important thing. Last year, he was great for us in the clubhouse, he was a leader, he was another coach. He still can play. You see him on a daily basis and he’s smiling a little more, he’s talking again Jed Lowrie Jersey , he’s loud. When he’s loud, he’s in a good place. We’re very happy with the progression.“Whenever he comes back, I know he’s going to contribute,” Cora said. “We can’t get too excited. We have to be patient. We have to be disciplined with this.”NOTES: The Red Sox plan to set the order of their rotation after David Price’s exhibition start Tuesday against the Cubs. Price might pitch one inning and that could be enough, Cora said. “He feels good right now,” the manager added. “If he feels like pitching one inning tomorrow is enough. That means he’ll probably pitch in Seattle early.” The Los Angeles Dodgers would love to use these games away from Dodger Stadium as a fast road to a National League West title.So far, though, the Cincinnati Reds are providing quite the roadblock.The Dodgers were coming off two wins in a key three-game series against the first-place Colorado Rockies when they began a three-game series in Cincinnati on Monday — seemingly with a chance to build up some quick wins against a last-place team that came in 22 games below .500.Article continues below ...Instead, the Reds improved to 5-0 against the Dodgers this season by winning 10-6, riding NL batting leader Scooter Gennett’s four hits and three RBIs. Eugenio Suarez homered off Dodgers starter Alex Wood, who was roughed up for seven runs (six earned), and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings. Newly acquired reliever Ryan Madson (1 inning, 4 hits, 3 runs) wasn’t much better.Surprisingly, Los Angeles has a losing record against two of the NL’s three last-place clubs, the Reds (0-5) and the Miami Marlins (2-4).“If they’re (the opponent) is a playoff team or not, it doesn’t matter too much to us,” Gennett said. “Hopefully, we can look (at the end of the season) and see we had a good last month.”The Dodgers need a much-better start Tuesday night from left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has pitched well with a 4-2 record and 2.16 ERA. The problem is that he has made only 11 starts because of an ongoing problem with a groin injury that sidelined him from May 2 until Aug. 15.Ryu will go against the unpredictable Luis Castillo (8-12) http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , the Reds right-hander who is capable of delivering an excellent start or an ineffective one. He pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals in a 4-0 win on Sept. 1, but between that start gave up 10 runs, seven earned, in 8 1-3 innings in losses to the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres.Ryu made one of his poorest starts his last time out, giving up five runs (only one earned) and an alarming 10 hits in six innings of a 7-3 Dodgers loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday. The rest of his line looked good — eight strikeouts, no walks — but it was a subpar outing for a pitcher the Dodgers very much need to produce in the final three weeks of the season.“I didn’t think we played good defense behind Hyun-Jin and I thought the way he threw the baseball was better than the linescore,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said afterward. “We didn’t give ourselves a chance. There were plays we usually make, you could just look around the diamond. Whether it’s added pitches or a run that scores that shouldn’t. For us, at this point in time, we’ve got to play better baseball.”They certainly didn’t Monday night. Wood fell behind 2-0 in a span of three batters in the first inning, walking Billy Hamilton and hitting Jose Peraza with a pitch ahead of Joey Votto’s two-run double on his 35th birthday. Gennett followed a batter later with an RBI single and scored on shortstop Manny Machado’s error on Brandon Dixon’s grounder.“They’ll continue to go at you offensively and you’ve got to score as much as you can,” Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said.They did, too, as the Reds made it 10-4 against Madson in the sixth on Gennett’s RBI single and Tucker Barnhart’s two-run single.The Dodgers scored twice in the seventh and had the bases loaded with one out, but reliever Jared Hughes got Yasiel Puig to line into a double play.“Any win right now is good for us,” Gennett said. “We’re trying to finish the season strong and get some confidence to carry into the offseason and into spring training.”The Dodgers got closer Kenley Jansen (irregular heartbeat) back Monday after he was advised to skip the Rockies series, and they recalled former top prospect Julio Urias, a left-hander who is recovering from shoulder surgery in 2017. He had a 5.40 ERA in 11 rehabilitation appearances in the minors.
