Manager Dave Roberts noted Tuesday that Pederson will see more playing time against left-handed pitchers in 2017 than he did during the 2016 season, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

This is very positive news for Pederson and his fantasy owners, as the center fielder's strict platoon really diminished his overall fantasy impact in 2016. Though he'll still likely sit a fair amount against lefties, the vote of confidence from his manager is an encouraging sign. Enrique Hernandez is starting over Pederson on Tuesday against left-hander Clayton Richard.
