Alex Verdugo Placed On Bereavement List
1 year agoThe Boston Red Sox placed outfielder Alex Verdugo on the bereavement list on Thursday. The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reports that Verdugo will rejoin the team next Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. With Verdugo out on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Joe Ryan, Jarren Duran will start in center field and hit leadoff for Boston. Fantasy managers will need to remove Verdugo from their starting lineups for the rest of the week, if possible. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter has an excellent .303 average (86-for-284), .374 on-base percentage and .843 OPS, but he's contributed only five home runs and three stolen bases in 71 games so far this year. Verdugo has added 24 doubles and a league-leading four triples.
