Joc Pederson sitting for Dodgers on Thursday afternoon

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is sitting on Thursday afternoon versus the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

The Marlins are sending left-hander Caleb Smith to the mound, so Pederson will take a seat in Thursday's series finale while Matt Kemp mans left field and Kike Hernandez covers things in right. After slashing .296/.415/.444 in April, Pederson is down to .154/.267/.205 through 13 games in May.

Pederson is averaging 6.7 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .234 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, and 5 steals over the rest of the year.
