Joc Pederson is Gaining Deep-League Value

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson has been putting together a solid stretch of play lately. Over the last week. Pederson is slashing .357/.438/.571 with one home run and two RBI. He owns a .984 OPS over the last month of action. At this point in his career, Pederson is strictly a platoon bat, but that doesn't mean he can't offer fantasy value. He has blasted nine homers this season with 25 RBI and 28 walks in 68 games. The 34-year-old has enough pop in his bat to warrant looking at in deep leagues right now. His nine long balls have already matched his season total from a year ago. Fantasy managers should scoop him up while he's hot at the plate.

Joc Pederson Emerging as a Power Bat to Target on the Waiver Wire

Across 202 plate appearances so far in 2026, Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson is hitting .237/.343/.444 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, and 25 runs scored. The 34-year-old got off to a slow start to the season but rebounded in May, posting a .919 OPS with six home runs last month. Pederson's playing time is limited to a strict big-side platoon role, as he's logged just 15 plate appearances against left-handed pitching on the year. Still, he's proven he can be an effective deep-league power source for fantasy managers even in a relatively small number of at-bats throughout his career. Pederson had a down year at the plate in 2025, but he hit .275 with 23 home runs across 449 plate appearances with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024. With a 13.4% walk rate, 9.1% barrel rate, and 47% hard-hit rate, Pederson's underlying metrics back up his solid production in 2026. For fantasy managers in need of power, Pederson profiles as a useful waiver wire target.

Joc Pederson has Three Home Runs in his Last Two Games

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson is starting to heat up at the plate. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger went 3-for-4 at the plate out of the leadoff spot on Wednesday night with two home runs and three RBI in the team's 4-3 loss to the visiting Houston Astros at Globe Life Park. Both of his home runs were of the solo variety, and Pederson has now gone deep three times in the last two games. In his last eight contests, he's gone 10-for-23 (.435) with three homers and six RBI to boost his season-long line to .250/.361/.430 with a .791 OPS, six home runs, 16 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 51 games across 156 plate appearances. Pederson has disappointed so far in his tenure with the Rangers, as he played in only 96 games in 2025 and hit nine home runs with 26 RBI in 306 plate appearances, but if he gets on a heater, he'll be worth a look off the waiver wire for his power production. Right now, Pederson is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available.

Joc Pederson to Return on Sunday

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson (hand) will come off the 10-day injured list and return as a full-time DH on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. Pederson suffered a fractured right hand on May 24 and has missed just over two months. The two-time All-Star joined the Rangers on a two-year, $37 million contract in the offseason, but it hasn't worked out at all so far. Pederson will come back and try to improve on a brutal .131/.269/.238 line with two home runs and 10 RBI over 146 plate appearances.

Joc Pederson Beginning Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) was able to take batting practice once again ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics. Pederson reportedly feels good after taking batting practice on back-to-back days. Now, the plan is for Pederson to join Double-A Frisco for a rehab assignment this weekend. The left-handed slugger has been out since late May due to a fractured right hand. He figures to be back in the mix by early August, but Pederson isn't someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats right now.

Joc Pederson Takes Batting Practice

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) was able to take part in batting practice ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics. This is a good sign as Pederson has been out since late May due to a fractured right hand. The organization is hopeful Pederson can take batting practice again on Wednesday. After that, Pederson should be able to go on a minor league rehab assignment. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy didn't mention how long Pederson would stay in the minors. He figures to need a handful of games before being ready to play in Texas again. There's a decent chance that he's ready to play again by early August.

Joc Pederson Still Weeks Away From Batting Practice

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson (hand) is still two to three weeks away from taking batting practice, reports Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Pederson was initially expected to return shortly after the All-Star break, but now it seems he won't even be swinging a bat by then. He has been on the injured list since late May after suffering a broken hand when he was hit by a pitch. The injury and the slugger's delayed return don't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes, as he was batting just .131 with two home runs in 46 games before the injury. The 33-year-old will have to significantly turn his season around to make it back onto fantasy radars.

Joc Pederson Still Three Weeks Away from Returning

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) is reportedly three weeks away from returning to the lineup, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Pederson has been sidelined since late May due to a fractured right hand. The original timetable had Pederson returning before the All-Star break, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Pederson figures to still need a rehab assignment as well before getting back into the mix. Pederson was struggling with a .131 batting average, two home runs, and six RBI before going on the injured list. He figures to get playing time at designated hitter against right-handed pitching once he's cleared to play. Given his struggles, Pederson isn't someone that needs to be stashed in fantasy formats right now.

Joc Pederson Hits 10-Day Injured List, Kevin Pillar Designated For Assignment

Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hand fracture. In a corresponding move, the Rangers designated outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment. This opened a spot on the roster for outfield prospect Alejandro Osuna. Pederson was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and was later diagnosed with a fracture. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Pederson to miss at least the next month of action. Before his injury, Pederson was having a slow start to the season, holding a .131/.269/.238 line. Pillar held an underwhelming .209/.209/.256 slash line with just two doubles across 20 games. With both Pederson sidelined and Pillar leaving the roster, Osuna should have a path to seeing everyday opportunities in the Texas starting nine.

Joc Pederson Suffers Fractured Wrist

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (wrist) was hit by a pitch in the hand during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. As a result, Pederson suffered a fractured right hand during Saturday's loss. Pederson will head to the injured list and is looking at a lengthy absence. It's unclear if Pederson is going to require surgery, but he'll likely miss the rest of the season if he does have surgery. Pederson wasn't bringing much to the plate this season anyway. Fantasy managers should feel safe dropping Pederson for another bat with a lengthy recovery process in front of him.
