Sits for afternoon game Pederson is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.
Impact It's hardly a surprise that Pederson won't be asked to play two games in one day right after being activated off the injured list Monday. He'll sit against lefty Clayton Kershaw in the day's first game, with Matt Duffy moving out to left field, but he should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against righty Trevor Bauer.

Cubs activate OF Joc Pederson in time to face Dodgers
The Chicago Cubs have activated Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list, giving the slugger a chance to face his former teamMAY 3, 2021 • Associated Press
Back from injury Pederson (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Pederson struggled significantly in his 16 games as a Cub, striking out 32.8 percent of the time while hitting just .137/.262/.235, before being sidelined with wrist tendinitis. He'll look to get things going Monday against his former team, the Dodgers. He clearly still has his manager's trust, as he'll lead off in the series opener.

Taking live batting practice Pederson (wrist) is participating in live batting practice Sunday at the alternate training site, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 29-year-old was with the Cubs earlier in the road trip while rehabbing the injury, but he return to the alternate site to take part in live batting practice.

Joining team on road trip Pederson (wrist) will travel with the Cubs to Cincinnati for the start of its three-game series with the Reds that begins Friday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Though Pederson eligible to return from the 10-day injured list beginning Saturday, manager David Ross suggested that the outfielder was being included on the road trip so he could continue his rehab process. With that in mind, the Cubs may not necessarily be looking to activate Pederson ahead either of the final two games of the series with Cincinnati. Before getting shut down due to left wrist tendinitis, Pederson was slashing .137/.262/.235 with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate over 61 plate appearances.

No plans for MRI Pederson (wrist) is not currently scheduled for an MRI and will be re-evaluated after a few days of rest, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Pederson was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, but retroactive to April 21. It's unclear whether he will be able to return after minimum period, though there should be a clearer timeline within a few days. Jake Marisnick and Nico Hoerner could both see increased playing time in Pederson's absence.
