Peterson is not in the starting lineup for the Braves on Wednesday.
Peterson will get the day off as Gordon Beckham leads off and plays second base for the Braves. The 26-year-old has played well in the leadoff spot for Atlanta over his last 10 games, hitting .286 with eight walks in 35 at-bats. Expect Peterson back in the lineup Thursday as the Braves face Ryan Vogelsong and the Pirates.
