Pederson declined his $14 million mutual option with the Diamondbacks for 2025 on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. After setting career highs with a .275 batting average, .393 OBP and .908 OPS, Pederson will accept a $3 million buyout from Arizona and likely look to secure a multi-year contract in free agency.

Pederson is absent from Sunday's lineup against San Diego. The lefty-hitting Pederson will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout with the Padres sending southpaw Martin Perez to the mound. Barring a pinch hit appearance, Pederson will finish his first regular season with Arizona having slashed .275/.393/.515 with 23 home runs and 64 RBI across 444 plate appearances. Randal Grichuk will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Pederson went 0-for-2 and stole a base in Saturday's 5-0 loss to San Diego. Pederson was on the back end of a double steal in the sixth inning but was stranded there. The theft was his career-high seventh. Arizona faces a must-win situation Sunday for a chance at the postseason, and the Padres have left-hander Martin Perez scheduled, which means Pederson is not expected to start.

Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win against Milwaukee. Pederson got the scoring started for Arizona in the first inning, blasting a two-run shot to center field. The long ball and RBI were his first since he hit a solo home run against Texas on Sept. 10. Pederson is up to 23 homers and 63 RBI on the season, with all but 40 of his 427 plate appearances coming against right-handed pitching.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Pederson will hit the bench for the series finale while the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the hill. Randal Grichuk (lower body) will replace Pederson in the lineup as Arizona's designated hitter.
