According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register the Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned outfielder Joc Pederson to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

#Dodgers Dave Roberts said dropping Joc Pederson to @okc_dodgers gives him chance to “reset … in middle of swing change”

Plunkett reported the news earlier in the day.

Not official yet. But it appears Joc Pederson will be odd man out when #Dodgers make room for Curtis Granderson

Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times shared his thoughts about the Granderson trade when it first happen.

The acquisition of Curtis Granderson could certainly take some at-bats away from Joc Pederson.

Pederson is a former 11th round pick of the Dodgers in the 2010 MLB Draft. He has spent the last four years with the club making the All-Star team in 2015.

This season Pederson is batting .215 with 11 home runs and 33 RBI’s. The move shows the Dodgers are committed to getting Granderson at-bats in the lineup and for now Pederson is the odd man out.
