Mandatory Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers activated designated hitter/first baseman Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list on Sunday.
Pederson, who missed two months with a fractured right hand, batted fifth as the DH in Sunday's series finale against the visiting Atlanta Braves.
Pederson, 33, was hit by a pitch by White Sox right-hander Bryse Wilson on May 24 in Chicago. He batted .131 with two homers and six RBIs in 46 games before the injury.
A two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Pederson is a career .237 hitter with 211 home runs and 555 RBIs in 1,318 games with six teams. He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2014-20.
The Rangers optioned utilityman Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Pederson on the 26-man roster. Helman, 29, batted .182 with one homer and four RBIs in eight games with Texas this season.
