Joc Pederson Injury: Timeline pushed back

Pederson (hand) will resume batting practice in 2-to-3 weeks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

It was reported in early July that Pederson was expected to be activated roughly a week after the All-Star break, but the progress in his recovery from a fractured hand appears to be coming along slower than anticipated. The veteran slugger shouldn't be expected to be back with the Rangers until at least early August.
