BOSTON -- Both Dustin Pedroia and Steven Wright will visit Dr. Riley Williams III when the Red Sox travel to New York to begin a three-game series vs. the Yankees on Friday.

Dr. Williams III performed both Wright and Pedroia's cartilage restoration procedures at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, N.Y.

"We're going to be there so might as well," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "To see him, to see what he thinks, if there's anything we can do differently as far as the treatment. So I think it's perfect timing."

The Red Sox placed Wright on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with left knee inflammation.

Boston placed Pedroia on the 10-day disabled list with left knee inflammation June 2. Pedroia still is experiencing knee soreness. He won't participate in any baseball activities until he has consecutive days without pain.

"More than one day," Cora said. "He's had his good days. ... And then the next day it's not a great day. So we're looking for him to have three or four days in a row that he feels good. It's frustrating for everybody, especially for him. But at the same time, we'll take our time.

"Hopefully when he comes back it's for the rest of the season, and also I think we need to make sure he's OK the rest of his career," Cora added. "We always talk about him coming back and contributing this year. But we have to make sure this doesn't become a problem. We find what we have to do to get him fixed and get him ready and keep him on the field more than in the clubhouse."
