Professional career

In by|1998, the Boston Red Sox selected DiNardo in the 10th round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft, but he did not sign, opting to attend Stetson University instead. ["Though winged by injuries, Angels still aloft." Boston. 24 July 2007. .] Three years later, he would sign with the New York Mets when they selected him in the 3rd round. ["Lenny DiNardo." Baseball-Reference. 24 July 2007. 25 July 2007 .] In the summer of by|2001, DiNardo made his professional debut with the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets Single-A affiliate. ["Lenny DiNardo." Baseball Cube. 24 July 2007. 25 July 2007 .]

In by|2002, he played for the Columbia Mets in the South Atlantic League, another Single-A farm team of the Mets.

In by|2003, he split time between St. Lucie (Single-A) and Binghamton (Double-A). He pitched well enough to warrant being selected by the Boston Red Sox during the Rule V Draft on December 15. ["Lenny DiNardo." Baseball-Reference. 24 July 2007. 25 July 2007 .]

As is the requirement with Rule 5 selections, DiNardo would remain on the Red Sox major league roster during the entire mlby|2004 season. He began the season on the disabled list and made his major league debut on April 23 against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium. ["Though winged by injuries, Angels still aloft." Boston. 24 July 2007. .] DiNardo spent much of the second half of the season back on the disabled list. Nevertheless, the lanky left-hander received a World Series ring for his contributions to the 2004 World Series Champion Red Sox. ["Lenny DiNardo." Baseball-Reference. 24 July 2007. .]

Having satisfied the requirement of keeping DiNardo on the major league roster, the Red Sox sent the pitcher to Triple-A Pawtucket to start the by|2005 season. He was recalled to the major league club five different times during the year.

In mlby|2006, DiNardo made six starts in place of the injured David Wells. However, he spent a lot of time on the disabled list himself, due to a neck injury. DiNardo played for Italy at 2006 World Baseball Classic.

To prepare for the by|2007 MLB season, DiNardo played for the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League.

On February 14, 2007, the Oakland Athletics claimed DiNardo off of waivers from the Boston Red Sox. DiNardo finished the season having made 20 starts, with an 8-10 record and an ERA of 4.11. ["Lenny DiNardo." Sportsline. 24 July 2007. 25 July 2007 .]
