Pederson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, the lefty-hitting Pederson will retreat to the bench while the Giants oppose a southpaw (Brandon Williamson) in the series opener in Cincinnati. Michael Conforto will get a day out of the outfield and will replace Pederson as the Giants' designated hitter.
