Joc Pederson J. Pederson

Joc Pederson on Diamondbacks bench Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Jordan Wicks and the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Pederson will sit versus a southpaw. Blaze Alexander will shift to designated hitter on Wednesday, while Kevin Newman will start at shortstop and hit ninth.

numberFire's models project Alexander for 7.1 and Newman for 7.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks' implied total (4.65) is fifth-best in the majors today.
