Joc Pederson Dealing With Back Stiffness
5 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson (back) is dealing with back stiffness he felt on Saturday night, but manager Dave Roberts said that he is available on Sunday. Pederson is day-to-day, but it sounds like he should be back in the starting lineup on Monday. He's hitting .254/.357/.616 on the year with 18 home runs, 42 runs scored and 33 RBI in his 177 at-bats in 2019. The drawback for Pederson and his fantasy owners is that he's hitting only .167 (4-for-24) with nine strikeouts against left-handers and he usually sits the bench when the team faces a southpaw. But he should be in all lineups when he faces a right-hander in a stacked Dodgers lineup.
