Joc Pederson of Texas Rangers Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Right Hand Fracture, Expected Return in Mid-July

Joc Pederson's absence might affect the Rangers' lineup at first base. Jake Burger is likely to step in as his primary replacement. Burger has a .217 average with 7 home runs and 21 RBIs, which could fill some of the gap left by Pederson.

Pederson's recent stats show he was hitting better in away games, with a .230 average, compared to .061 at home. The Rangers have upcoming home games against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pederson's injury means the team loses a left-handed hitter with a notable on-base presence, despite his low batting average this season.
