Dodgers' Joc Pederson: Shooting for return next Friday

Pederson (groin) could feasibly return from the disabled list by next Friday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Pederson was placed on the disabled list last week after feeling groin tightness after a groundout. This may be one of those cases where a player would have simply rested for a few days back when the disabled list required a 15-day absence. Friday is the first day Pederson would be eligible to return, so it's sounding like this injury is very minor.
