  Pederson went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee. The outfielder has hit safely in his last seven games, going 12-for-29 (.414) in that span. Pederson has a .245/.307/.427 slash line with 13 home runs, 49 RBI, 41 runs scored and two stolen bases across 348 plate appearances between Chicago and Atlanta this year. Despite Atlanta's additions of Eddie Rosario (abdomen), Jorge Soler and Adam Duvall, Pederson figures to get a decent share of playing time in right field or center field over the last two months of the season.
