Joc Pederson Placed on Injured List With Hand Fracture

The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list due to a broken bone in his hand suffered on September 12. It ends a solid season where he slashed .235/.329/.487 in 432 plate appearances as the primary DH against right-handed pitching. The Rangers delayed the IL move hoping he could resume hitting, and they hope he could return on a potential playoff roster if the team advances.
