Latest news
Pederson declined his side of an $18.5 million mutual option for 2027 on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Pederson had a nice bounce-back season in 2026, collecting an .816 OPS with 26 home runs over 136 contests. Because he's a platoon designated hitter with no defensive value, Pederson could have a limited market this winter despite coming off a strong offensive season.

Pederson (hand) took some swings in the batting cage Friday and is scheduled to face teammate Jack Leiter (ankle/biceps) in live batting practice this weekend, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
A small fracture in Pederson's left hand ended the 34-year-old's regular season, but it sounds like he's expecting to play Tuesday -- that is, if the Rangers are able to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Pederson put together a resurgent campaign with an .816 OPS and 26 homers after posting a .613 OPS with nine homers in 2025.

Texas placed Pederson (hand) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 19.
The veteran left-handed-hitting Pederson will head to the 10-day IL, effectively ending his regular season. Pederson has not played since Sept. 12 because of soreness in his fractured left hand. If the 34-year-old indeed misses the remainder of the regular season, he will end his 2026 campaign holding a slash line of .235/.329/.487 with 26 homers and 53 RBI over 431 plate appearances. Pederson could return for the playoffs is Texas is able to qualify.

Pederson (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, the veteran slugger hit off a tee Tuesday afternoon and is scheduled to do so again pregame. Pederson continues to deal with soreness in his fractured left hand and has some more hurdles to clear before returning to game action. He likely would have been on the bench Tuesday regardless of the injury since lefty Sean Manaea is starting for New York.

Pederson will sit out a seventh consecutive game due to a small fracture in his left hand. Corey Seager will slot in as the designated hitter, while Ezequiel Duran moves to shortstop and Nicky Lopez mans second base for Texas.
