The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Joc Pederson on the 10-day disabled list with a right groin strain, and recalled Brett Eibner from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Monday’s series opener against the San Francisco Giants.
Pederson was removed in the bottom of the sixth inning on Sunday after experiencing groin tightness. He attributed it to a misstep and lunge toward first base while attempting to leg out a groundball.
The 25-year-old batted leadoff in two of three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend, going a combined 3-for-7 with three runs scored, two doubles and one walk in those contests.
