Pederson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson laced a first-pitch double to drive in the game-winning run in the ninth inning for the walk-off win. His hit followed a game-tying single by Corey Seager on the first pitch he saw, as it appears the Rangers had a plan to jump early on Cleveland closer Cade Smith. Pederson has hit safely in four consecutive games, going 5-for-15 with a double, a home run and three RBI.

Pederson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson went deep in the fourth inning to give Texas a 2-1 lead. The homer was his third in 21 games since he returned from a hand injury in late July. It's been a forgettable season for the slugger, who opened 2025 with an epic slump (.052 average over his first 20 games) and never recovered. Prior to the injury, Pederson was batting .131, and since his return, he's batting .196.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson rejoined the Rangers on Sunday following a two-month stay on the injured list with a broken hand.

The Rangers reinstated Pederson (hand) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and will bat fifth for the Rangers in their series finale with Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Texas optioned outfielder/infielder Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Pederson, who is back in the big leagues for the first time since late May after missing two months while recovering from a fractured right hand. Though he made one of his two starts during his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco at first base, Pederson is expected to primarily be used as a DH now that he's back with the Rangers. Prior to being deactivated, Pederson had gotten off to a slow start to his first season with the Rangers, slashing just .131/.269/.238 over 145 plate appearances. On a positive note, Pederson had been striking out at a career-low rate (19.3 percent).

The Rangers will activate Pederson (hand) from the injured list Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pederson had been getting reps at first base before getting injured, though the Rangers intend to use him as a full-time DH once he's activated. The 33-year-old slugger went 2-for-6 with a walk and a run scored during his rehab assignment in Double-A, which could be enough momentum for him to turn things around after starting the year with a .507 OPS through 145 plate appearances.

Pederson (hand) is two games into a rehab assignment and has gone 2-for-6 with one walk and a run scored for Double-A Frisco.

Pederson is expected to report to Double-A Frisco this weekend to begin a rehab assignment, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After taking batting practice Tuesday and Wednesday, Pederson said he's feeling good physically and merely needs to continue his ramp-up process by getting in some competitive at-bats before the Rangers bring him back from the 10-day injured list. Manager Bruce Bochy suggested Tuesday that he doesn't anticipate Pederson needing a lengthy rehab assignment, so the 33-year-old may just stick around with Frisco through the weekend before the Rangers potentially activate him early next week. Pederson has been on the shelf since May 25 with a broken right hand but didn't require surgery.
