Alex Verdugo Has Stress Fracture In Back
5 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is dealing with a stress fracture in his lower back and is now doubtful to be ready for Opening Day, according to manager Ron Roenicke. The team knew about Verdugo's injury before trading for him earlier this week. The youngster also missed the last two months of 2019 with injuries to his oblique and back. Roenicke said that Verdugo is healing, but he's not quite there. His injury should provide recently signed Kevin Pillar to play mostly every day early in the season. Even though the 23-year-old could miss Opening Day, he's still an attractive fantasy outfielder in his new home in Boston.
