Dodgers' Joc Pederson: Sitting against lefty

Pederson is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Pederson will once again head to the bench with southpaw Tyler Anderson taking the mound for Colorado. Chris Taylor grabs another start in left field and will bat seventh. According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, Pederson will return to the starting nine Saturday and Sunday with the Rockies scheduled to use a pair of right-handed starters. The 26-year-old hasn't started since last Sunday with the Dodgers facing a string of left-handers.
