Dodgers will have Joc Pederson leadoff on Friday
The Los Angeles Dodgers are batting outfielder Joc Pederson in the leadoff spot versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday.
What It Means:
Pederson has batted in the bottom half of the lineup in every game he has played this year, never reaching higher than fifth. The Dodgers usual leadoff man, Logan Forsythe is on the DL, so Pederson gets his first crack at batting first this year and will hopefully jump start his slow start to the season.
Pederson is batting .205/.319/.308 with one home run, seven RBI's, and three runs scored in 47 plate appearances this year.
