Joc Pederson
Texas Rangers • #3 • LF
Joc Pederson joining Diamondbacks bench Thursday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander MacKenzie Gore and the Washington Nationals.
What It Means
The left-handed hitting Pederson will take a seat against the Nationals' southpaw. Ketel Marte will shift to designated hitter and Blaze Alexander will start on second base for Arizona.
numberFire's models project Marte for 12.8 and Alexander for 7.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. Among qualified pitchers this season, Gore rates in the top 85th percentile in strikeout rate (28.3) and the top 82nd percentile in whiff rate (29.8).
