Pederson will be on the bench against lefty Kwang Hyun Kim and the Cardinals on Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Pederson has had far more than a platoon role this season, as he started against four of the last five lefties the Cubs faced prior to Saturday's off day. For what it's worth, he's shown effectively no platoon split this year, posting a 96 wRC+ against lefties and a 95 wRC+ against righties. Patrick Wisdom starts in left field in his absence.
