Joc Pederson starting in center field on Saturday for Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson is serving as the team's starting center fielder for Saturday afternoon's matchup with the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Pederson sat out Friday's series opener in Washington, but he'll make his return in place of Chris Taylor today. He bats eighth against righty A.J. Cole.

With 10 of his 11 dingers coming at the hand of right-handed hurlers, Pederson is projected for 9.7 FanDuel points at just $2,500 on the early slate.
