Joc Pederson Remains Out of Rangers Lineup With Hand Fracture

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson is missing his fifth consecutive game due to a small fracture in his left hand suffered when he was hit by a pitch last Saturday. Although Pederson is attempting to play through the injury, he remains sidelined because he is not yet feeling well enough to face right-handed pitching like Sonny Gray. Josh Jung is filling in at designated hitter for Texas in the interim.
