Alex Verdugo Unlikely To Play Monday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the team will likely stay away from outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays after he left Sunday's game early against the Kansas City Royals with left-hamstring tightness in the sixth inning. "We will probably stay away from [Verdugo] tomorrow and see how he feels," Cora said. "He was in between the ball, and when he stopped he felt it. Hopefully there is nothing major there." The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, so check back to see if he's available on Tuesday. Verdugo has hit for a solid average and has provided some runs in his fourth year in Boston, hitting .278 (135-for-485) with 13 home runs, 34 doubles, five triples, 53 RBI, four stolen bases and 76 runs scored in 124 games.
