Joc Pederson Scratched For Personal Reasons
10 months agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder/designated hitter Joc Pederson was scratched from Tuesday's Cactus League contest for personal reasons, but he'll be back in spring training action in a couple of days, according to manager Torey Lovullo. There is really nothing for fantasy managers to worry about here. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger comes to Arizona after a disappointing .235/.348/.416 slash line with 15 home runs and 51 RBI in 121 games for the San Francisco Giants following his All-Star campaign in the Bay Area in 2022. He still has outfield eligibility for fantasy managers, but that may not be the case in 2025, as he's expected to serve mostly as the D-backs' DH in 2024. Pederson is a fair bet to bounce back at least slightly in a better hitting environment, but a potential platoon role will also hurt his overall fantasy upside.
