NOTES: Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia (left wrist sprain) has done some cardio and continues to improve. "Some of that swelling is reducing quite a bit, and the range of motion is starting to get there," manager John Farrell said. ... Baltimore C Welington Castillo, on the 10-day disabled list after sustaining a testicular injury Tuesday night on a deflected pitch, will not be able to do any rehab for at least another three or four days. "It's not an easy conversation other than how you're feeling," manager Buck Showalter said. ... Red Sox LHP Robbie Ross Jr. (left elbow inflammation) had his option to Triple-A Patuxent reversed and was placed on the major league DL.
