Joc Pederson leaves a broken right hand in a further injury to the Texas Rangers

Chicago (AP) – The exhausted Texas Rangers lost Joc Pederson when he was hit by a field on Saturday and broke his right hand.

Pederson performed the fourth inning and was hit by a 87.5 miles an hour from White Sox Right-Hander Bryze Wilson. Pederson went down shortly after his goal, but the designated striker stayed in the game and finally met Marcus Semien's victim fly.

The 33-year-old Pederson, who signed a two-year contract with 37 million US dollars with Texas in December, was replaced by a pinch of Hitter in the fifth.

Manager Bruce Bochy spoke after the rangers' 10: 5 loss against the White Sox to reporters that Pederson had a fracture in his right hand.

“Bad break there,” said Bochy. “We have difficulty keeping boys in the field. So he will be on the road for a while.”

Pederson was injured on the same day when Rangers Shortstop Corey Seaager was exposed to a thigh injury with live pitching in his recovery in his recovery.

Seaager could return to Texas' line -up next week.

“It is going well with him,” said Bochy before the sixth loss of the Rangers season height in a row. “So I could see him playing at home the next weekend. I mean, so well that he will continue to get live BP when we come home on Monday. Could be a little earlier, who knows how good it looks.”

Seaager was activated on May 3 from the injured list after it was dropped by a right thigh strain. He played in five games before going back to the IL on May 13th.

The 31-year-old Seaager, who is in the fourth season of a 10-year contract of $ 325 million, will play in 26 games in 26 games in 26 games in 26 games.

Outfield Evan Carter also worked before Texas' defeat in Chicago. Carter is on the IL with a right quadriceps.

Carter is in a similar timeline to Seaager, but Bochy said that Carter would need a rehabilitation stay in the minor before returning to the team.

“He's going well. He slips swings. He is doing everything now,” said Bochy. “So he will continue to do so and we will soon get his rehab within a week.”

The 22-year-old Carter beats in 11 games this season with a Homer and three RBIs.
