The Rangers placed Pederson (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Pederson fractured his right hand when it was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the White Sox. The veteran slugger said after the game that he was given a six-week estimate for a return from the IL, so he could be out of action until around the All-Star break. Prospect Alejandro Osuna was called up from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move and could end up serving as Pederson's primary replacement in the lineup against right-handed pitching, either at designated hitter or in an outfield spot.
