3 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson is on the bench for Sunday's game at Cincinnati with left-hander Wade Miley on the mound. Jake Marisnick, who is in center field and hitting seventh, is only an option in very deep and NL-only leagues, considering his .231 batting average and .746 OPS this year. Pederson has been a disappointment for those who picked him as a 2021 sleeper, as his struggles against southpaws continue and he isn't mashing right-handers that much. Still, with seven games on tap against righties next week, he is worth another shot for fantasy managers in leagues with weekly lineup changes. All 11 of his home runs have come against righties this season.--Josh Friedman
