3 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson (back) will return to the lineup on Tuesday night to face off against the San Diego Padres. Pederson exited Saturday's contest early with lower back tightness and rested on Sunday afternoon, but pinch-hit on Monday. Pederson got off to a slow start this season, but heated up in May. The slugger has been in a bit of a slump lately, but on the year is hitting .232 with six home runs and 21 RBI. He remains a solid source of power for managers that could deal with the dip in batting average. Pederson will face Dinelson Lamet on tonight and will be leading off. Pederson is 3-for-11 with two home runs in his career against Lamet and is worth looking at in DFS on Tuesday night.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
