EDGE Analysis

Pederson is expected to take another round of batting practice Wednesday, and if everything goes smoothly, a rehab assignment should come shortly afterward. It's still unclear exactly how long the 33-year-old will be in the minors, though manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Pederson's assignment to last very long.
