Pederson fueled the attack with a three-run homer in the second and finished with five RBIs, contributing to the enormous margin and highlighting the Rangers’ depth across the ordering.

Pederson, hot in August, went 2-for-6 with two homers and five RBIs on the homestand, driving the middle of the order and helping the Rangers sustain pressure after García's early power. His timely hitting provides balance and veteran presence in a volatile lineup.

Pederson has been Texas’s spark plug since the deadline, posting a solid August with .269/.345/.538 and four homers in 20 games. He delivered a ninth-inning game-tying homer vs. the Yankees and a go-ahead hit off a lefty, showing he can anchor the lineup and provide premium fantasy extra-base upside the rest of the way.

Pederson supplied clutch power and run-contributing hits, including a walk-off setup and a late homer, reinforcing his role as a key offensive driver for Texas as the club pursues a postseason bid.

Pederson’s walkoff blast capped Texas’s fast rally against Cleveland, adding veteran power and a late-inning spark to the Rangers’ lineup. His presence elevates Texas’s depth and gives fantasy managers a reliable bench bat with multi-position eligibility and late-game upside.
