Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson will bat eighth in Wednesday afternoon's interleague game against left-hander Sam Hentges and the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
Pederson has been dropped down after hitting fifth or leadoff in almost every start for the Cubs since joining the club this offseason. He owns a .219 batting average and a career-low .610 OPS through 87 plate appearances. Matt Duffy has been moved to the top of the Cubs' order Wednesday, followed by Willson Contreras and Anthony Rizzo.
