Since coming off the IL, Pederson is 0-for-8 with 3 K’s, raising fresh concern about the Rangers’ DH spot.
When the Texas Rangers called up Joc Pederson from his rehab assignment this weekend, they were hoping he would be like a trade deadline addition without the need to make a trade.
Unfortunately, so far, the first baseman and designated hitter have looked exactly like the guy he was to start the year. That is to say, he's been more of a hindrance than a help to a Rangers offense that has been breaking out since the All-Star break.
