31 Joc Pederson LF

Pederson will sit against the left-handed Roenis Elias and the Mariners on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pederson did start against a southpaw on Friday but before that had sat against 17 straight lefties. Matt Kemp will start in left field Sunday, with Enrique Hernandez starting in center.

Pederson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

Pederson will stick on the bench for a fifth straight game as the Dodgers face another left-hander (Derek Holland). Chris Taylor will start in center field in this one.

Pederson is not in the lineup Monday against the Giants, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Pederson will stick on the bench for a third straight game as the Dodgers face another left-hander (Madison Bumgarner) Monday. The lefty-hitting Pederson could continue to find himself on the bench in the coming week with Los Angeles set to face a few more southpaw starters.

Pederson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rockies, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

As per usual, Pederson will head to the bench with a lefty (Tyler Anderson) getting the ball for the opposition. Enrique Hernandez will start in center field and hit sixth in his stead.

Pederson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pederson is among the four regular lefties who will sit out the contest, with opposing starter Lance McCullers owning better splits against southpaws than righties. He should return to the starting nine for the series finale Sunday.
