Rangers' Joc Pederson: Homers, walks three times in loss
Pederson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and three walks in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.
Pederson opened the game by taking Ryan Johnson deep for his seventh leadoff homer and 22nd long ball of the season. It was his fifth home run over his last 15 games, prompting Los Angeles to pitch around his hot bat and walk him in each of his final three plate appearances. The strategy paid off, as Texas managed only two runs in the loss. Pederson is now one homer shy of matching his highest single-season total since 2020. Through 108 games this season, he owns an .854 OPS

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Three hits, steal in win
Pederson went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.
Pederson has hit safely in his last six games, going 10-for-23 (.435) in that span. He made a rare start at first base to give Jake Burger a day off Saturday, but Pederson will see most of his playing time as a strong-side platoon option at designated hitter. The veteran slugger is batting .251 with an .833 OPS, 17 home runs, two steals, 36 RBI, 41 runs scored, 10 doubles and two triples across 93 contests this season.

Pederson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and was hit by a pitch in Monday's loss to Minnesota.
Pederson did all of Texas' offensive damage in the loss, clubbing a two-run homer into the right-field seats in the third inning.
