Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game versus the Astros.
The left-handed bat of Pederson will stay put in the dugout Saturday with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi set to start on the hill for Houston. Ketel Marte will instead serve as the Snakes' designated hitter, opening up second base for Kevin Newman.
