Joc Pederson Injury: Taking BP

Pederson (hand) resumed taking live batting practice Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Pederson is expected to take another round of batting practice Wednesday, and if everything goes smoothly, he could be sent out on a rehab assignment shortly thereafter. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 25 due to a right hand fracture, Pederson could require multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, though manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that he doesn't expect the 33-year-old's assignment to last very long.
