Joc Pederson of the Texas Rangers suffered a fractured right hand after being hit by a pitch from Bryse Wilson, causing him to exit the game. Despite scoring shortly after being hit, the Rangers' manager, Bruce Bochy, confirmed that Pederson will be sidelined for an extended period. This injury compounds the team's struggles, as they also await the return of Corey Seager from a hamstring injury. Seager's potential return is positive news for the team. The Rangers' injury woes continue, affecting their season performance.
Pederson went down right after he was hit, but the designated hitter stayed in the game and eventually scored on Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly.
Bad break there. We're having tough luck keeping guys on the field. So he's going to be out for a while.
It's going well with him. So I could see him playing next weekend at home. I mean that's how well he's doing.
Carter is on a similar timeline as Seager, but Bochy said he is going to need a rehab stint in the minors before rejoining the team.
