Pederson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Saturday.

Other than ruling him out for Saturday's matchup with Washington, Pederson's placement on IR doesn't alter his recovery timeline considering he has already missed three games. Once cleared to play, Pederson should retake his spot in the lineup, though the fact that he is pointless in 11 games could see players like Noah Gregor or Jonah Gadjovich get a couple of looks.
