  • Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Launches home run Friday

    Pederson started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's Cactus League game against the Cubs.

    Pederson swatted his first spring home run and is 4-for-13 with three walks through six games. He's started four of those games in the outfield, but Pederson is expected to serve as the primary DH against right-handers in 2024.

  • Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Back in lineup Thursday

    Pederson (personal) will start in left field and bat fifth in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

    Pederson was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers after he left the team to attend to a personal matter, but he missed just a couple of days before returning to camp. Though he'll be drawing the start in left field Thursday, Pederson is expected to primarily serve as a designated hitter versus right-handed pitching once the regular season gets underway.

  • Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Scratched for personal reasons

    Pederson was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers due to personal reasons and will be away from the team for a couple days, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The specifics of the situation remain unclear, but Pederson isn't expected to be away for long. At this point, there's no reason to expect his availability to begin the season will be affected by the absence.

  • Diamondbacks' Joc Pederson: Signs on with Arizona

    Pederson signed a one-year, $9.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, which includes a mutual option for 2025, John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

    The 31-year-old fits Arizona's desire to add some thump in the designated hitter spot from the left side. Pederson slashed a pedestrian .235/.348/.416 with 15 home runs over 121 contests with the Giants in 2023, but he had a solid .786 OPS versus right-handers and boasts a career .834 OPS against righties.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: Sits against Kershaw

    Pederson will be on the bench against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Pederson seldom starts against southpaws, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench Saturday along with the rest of the Giants' lefties. Austin Slater will serve as the designated hitter.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: Takes seat Monday

    Pederson isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Pederson will unsurprisingly bow out of the starting nine with southpaw Blake Snell set to take the mound. Mitch Haniger is set to handle DH duties and will bat sixth as a result.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: Hits bench versus lefty

    Pederson isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: Homers in loss

    Pederson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Pederson has warmed up a bit, going 5-for-18 (.278) with two homers over his last five games. The rest of the Giants didn't follow -- his blast was one of only three hits for them in Thursday's loss. The designated hitter has a .245/.353/.434 slash line with 15 long balls, 51 RBI and 57 runs scored across 113 contests this season.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: On bench against lefty

    Pederson is out of the lineup Friday versus the Dodgers.

    Austin Slater will serve as the Giants' designated hitter and bat leadoff with left-handers Caleb Ferguson and Ryan Yarbrough both lined up to pitch for Los Angeles. Pederson has gone 8-for-43 (.186) this year against southpaws.

  • Giants' Joc Pederson: Smacks 14th homer

    Pederson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Pederson is hitting .261 (12-for-46) with five extra-base hits and six RBI over 14 contests in September. His homer in the first inning put the Giants ahead 2-0, but the lead was gone by the end of the second. The veteran slugger is up to 14 homers, 50 RBI, 56 runs scored and a .248/.357/.432 slash line through 111 contests in his customary strong-side platoon role.
