May 17, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Texas Rangers first baseman Joc Pederson (4) bats during the second inning against the Houston Astros at Globe Life Field. Mandatory Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images Texas Rangers designated hitter Joc Pederson suffered a fractured right hand during Saturday’s 10-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said after the game.
Pederson’s estimated recovery time is six weeks.
Pederson, 33, was hit by a Bryse Wilson pitch during the fourth inning. He stayed in the game long enough to score on Marcus Semien’s sacrifice fly, but Kyle Higashioka handled the designated hitter role the rest of the way.
Pederson owns a reputation as a prolific power hitter with 211 career home runs. Over his 12-year career, he has averaged one homer every 21 at-bats. In 2024, he produced 23 homers, 64 RBIs and a .275/.393/.515 batting line for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
That inspired the Rangers to sign Pederson to a two-year deal worth $37 million. However, he got off to a slow start this season with only two home runs and six RBIs with a career-low .131 batting average across 46 games.
It has been a rough start overall for the highly touted Rangers, who sit at 25-28 and fourth place in the AL West.
Higashioka and Jonah Heim, who’s sixth on the team with his .709 OPS, could see additional time at DH with Pederson sidelined. The two catchers have made 14 combined DH appearances this season.

However, Leclerc was unable to go for a move and settled for the runners-up spot on home soil.Lewis Hamilton finished a lonely fifth after gaining two spots from his starting position of seventh through the early […]
Monaco GP: Lando Norris wins hectic race; Mercedes frustrated by Williams tactics
The Athletic has live coverage from the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix.MONACO — Lando Norris won Formula One’s 2025 Monaco Grand Prix ahead of home hero Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren, with the race’s story dominated by a new rule requiring every driver to do two pit stops.“Monaco, baby!” Norris said upon crossing the finish line. “Yeah, baby!”AdvertisementThe rule was introduced after the 2024 Monaco was a lifeless procession after a lap, one red flag stoppage, and it did produce talking points across the field this time around. Several teams employed tactics that meant one driver helped their teammate by slowing down rivals and fourth-place finisher Max Verstappen stopped for the final time well out of sync with the other leaders.Norris led the race from pole, surviving early pressure at the first corner from Ferrari driver Leclerc, […]
