Pederson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two runs during Friday's win over Cincinnati.

It was just the third homer of the campaign for Pederson, which is a disappointing total after he left the yard 25 times last year. His .210/.321/.353 slash line is also an eyesore. However, the outfielder has dealt with multiple injuries (groin, neck and a concussion), so there is more at play here than just a lengthy slump. In fact, with three extra-base hits through his past two games, Pederson might be kick-starting a hot stretch now that he's healthy.
