San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (wrist) is likely to be activated ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New York Mets. The left-handed slugger landed on the injured list last week due to right wrist inflammation. The good news is, Pederson resumed baseball activities earlier this week. He appears to be on track to get back in the lineup as early as Sunday. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday to see if Pederson is ready to go again.

San Francisco Giants designated hitter Joc Pederson (wrist) was put on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to April 12. The veteran is batting .242 this season with nine RBI, eight hits, and two home runs while striking out 13 times (33 at-bats). However, he's battling right wrist inflammation, resulting in a cortisone injection on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he won't avoid the IL, so the Giants recalled first baseman/outfielder Matt Beaty from Triple-A. Beaty has played sparingly for the big club in 2023, going 1-for-2 in two at-bats, so he's obviously not a viable fantasy alternative.

San Francisco Giants outfielder/designated hitter Joc Pederson (wrist) hopes to dodge the injured list. The veteran is dealing with a right wrist injury, with Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle revealing he received a cortisone shot on Wednesday. Coming off an All-Star 2022 campaign, Pederson is batting .242 with nine RBI and two home runs while striking out 13 times this season (33 at-bats). More information about Pederson's prognosis should come in the next day or two. But in the meantime, Darin Ruf, recently released by the Mets, may spend more time in the starting lineup.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson is out of Monday's starting lineup versus the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias. Pederson will unsurprisingly come out of the lineup against a tough left-handed pitcher as he's made just two of his 36 plate appearances this season against southpaws and owns a career .623 OPS in his career against them versus a strong .840 mark off righties. Pederson has two homers and four extra-base knocks in nine games this season while right-handed hitting outfielders Heliot Ramos and Bryce Johnson enter the lineup.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson accepted the team's one-year, $19.65 million qualifying offer on Tuesday to return to the team in 2023, according to a source. Pederson and Rangers left-hander Martin Perez were only two of 14 players given the qualifying offer to accept it this offseason. Pederson made the All-Star team for the second time in 2022 in his first year in the Bay Area, slashing .274/.353/.521 with an .874 OPS, 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 57 runs scored and three stolen bases in 433 plate appearances over 134 games. The 30-year-old will continue to be a nice source of power in fantasy leagues, but he'll also lose some playing time against left-handed pitchers. In 57 plate appearances against them last year, he hit .245 with only two of his 23 home runs against them.

The San Francisco Giants extended the $19.65 million qualifying offer to outfielder Joc Pederson on Thursday. The deal would be a big raise from the $6 million that he earned in 2022, so there's a good chance Pederson will accept the one-year deal from the Giants and return in 2023. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger was San Francisco's best hitter this season, slashing .274/.353/.521 with an .874 OPS, 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 57 runs scored and three stolen bases in 433 plate appearances over 134 games to earn his second career All-Star nod. Pederson's .274 batting average in 2022 was the highest of his career, while his 23 home runs were the fifth time that he's reached the 20-homer plateau in his nine-year career.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson might be sticking around with the organization past the 2022 season. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi mentioned that he has discussed an extension with Pederson. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal worth $6 million this offseason. He is well-deserving of a multi-year deal after what he has accomplished at the plate this season. Pederson is hitting .263/.339/.513 with 20 home runs and 53 RBI through 107 games this season. This could be a good home for the lefty slugger.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson went deep Friday night, smacking his 18th home run of the season off Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jose Urena in a 7-4 loss. Pederson went 2-for-4 with the sixth-inning solo shot. He had not gone deep since June 25. Despite the power outage, Pederson has managed to stay productive, slashing .297/.366/.486 over his last 15 games and .254/.328/.500 for the year. Fantasy managers are certainly hoping the power will return, as that's his one standout fantasy category.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) was removed from Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after being hit in his right hand by a pitch. X-rays on his hand came back negative. While he expects to sit out for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he should be available off the bench for the game. Pederson has hit well at the plate since being activated off the injured list about 10 days back. He owns a .353/.450/.471 slash line over seven appearances this month.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) and outfielder Joc Pederson (concussion) have both been activated from the injured list, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. Crawford has been sidelined since July 15th. The 35-year-old is slashing .215/.297/.332 with five homers, 33 RBI, 7.9 BB%, and 20.4 K% this year. Unless he turns things around offensively, Crawford should be left on waivers in most leagues. Pederson, on the other hand, has fared a bit better, slashing .242/.319/.492 with 17 homers, 43 RBI, 9.1 BB%, and 22.1 K%. He has been on the seven-day concussion injured list since July 28th. Pederson is a true power threat and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (concussion) will return from the seven-day injured list on Saturday, with infielder Thairo Estrada (concussion) likely returning a day later on Sunday. Pederson has been out of action since July 29, but he should return to San Francisco's starting lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger was named to his second All-Star team in 2022 and is currently hitting .242/.319/.492 with an .811 OPS, 17 home runs, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases in 285 plate appearances and 87 games. Pederson was rumored to be a trade candidate at the deadline earlier this week, but he ended up staying with the Giants. He'll continue to be a power threat for fantasy managers in all leagues the rest of the way.

The Atlanta Braves are looking for outfield help at the trade deadline, according to a source, and they could reunite with San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (concussion), but the Giants are four games out of a wild-card spot and haven't decided if they'll be sellers. A rival executive believes the Giants are "ready to sell" after losing eight of nine games since the All-Star break. Pederson is currently on the concussion injured list, but the Braves remember his strong postseason run a year ago with them and might want him back for the stretch run again this year. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger made his second All-Star appearance this year and is currently hitting .242/.319/.492 with an .811 OPS, 17 home runs, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases in 87 games.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday. Pederson was replaced on the active roster by Jason Vosler, who was recalled from Triple-A. Without Pederson, the Giants will start LaMonte Wade Jr. in left field as they open up their weekend series against the Chicago Cubs. Pederson is hitting .242 with 17 homers, 36 runs, 43 RBI, and three steals over 285 at-bats in 2022.

The San Francisco Giants continue to convey to other teams that they aren't sellers, and at the moment they intend to hang on to possible free-agent starting pitcher Carlos Rodon and outfielder Joc Pederson. Rodon signed a two-year deal in the offseason, but he has triggered an opt-out clause after going past 110 innings this year. The Giants have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games and are currently at 48-50 and 17.5 games behind the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. They also sit 3.5 games out of the second wild-card spot in the NL. Rodon and Pederson have both been great for the Giants this year and made the All-Star team, so they'd like to hang onto them if they think a postseason appearance is possible.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets. This follows up a heroic effort the prior evening, when Pederson slugged three home runs and singled in six at-bats, driving in eight runs in the process. Pederson is now up to a .260/.331/.606 slash line for the season with 11 homers, 17 runs, and 24 RBI. He should be rostered in all formats, at least until he hits an inevitable cold streak.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson is on the bench on Wednesday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and left-handed starter Kyle Freeland. Only eight of Pederson's 100 plate appearances this season have come against left-handed pitchers. Mike Yastrzemski is moving over to right field instead and batting ninth, while Austin Slater will play center field and hit leadoff. Slater is batting .255 with a .414 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 70 plate appearances this season. He could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (groin) is back in the starting lineup for the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff against right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Pederson pinch hit on Tuesday for his first game action since April 27, when he strained his right groin. Fantasy managers will want to get the 30-year-old left-handed slugger back in their starting lineups, as he's hitting a cool .346/.375/.731 with a 1.106 OPS, six home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in his first 17 games of the season in his first year in San Francisco.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (groin) made an appearance in Tuesday night's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He came on as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of the game and wound up striking out in his only at-bat. Pederson had been out since April 27 due to a Grade 1 adductor strain. However, he began baseball activities earlier this week and clearly has progressed well, as he was utilized in Tuesday's contest. We'll see if he's included in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (adductor) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 adductor strain, according to Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi. Zaidi stated that this is "relatively good news" for Pederson. He added that the team will take a few days to see if Pederson's injury improves before making a decision on the injured list. There's a chance a stint on the injured list won't even be necessary. The 30-year-old is off to a great start to his Giants career, slashing .353/.382/.745 with six home runs over 16 games. Fantasy managers who snagged him off the waiver wire or in drafts should be encouraged by Friday's injury update as Pederson has avoided something serious.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (groin) is scheduled to get an MRI on his right groin on Thursday. The 30-year-old suffered a groin injury while running the bases during Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. After the game, Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that a trip to the injured list could be in the cards for Pederson. Conversely, Pederson seemed a bit more hopeful that he could avoid a stint on the injured list. He said that he was walking around better on Wednesday after getting some treatment on his groin. Thursday's MRI should help clear things up so make sure to keep an eye out for the results.
