Alex Verdugo Back From Leave, Batting Second On Friday
Alex Verdugo (paternity leave) is back in the lineup batting second on Friday against Spenser Watkins and the visiting Baltimore Orioles. The 25-year-old lefty missed games earlier in the week due to being on paternity leave. Prior to that, he went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Verdugo is heating up down the stretch for Boston, slashing .400/.429/.680 with one homer, two RBI, and three runs scored on 10 hits over his last seven games.
