Alex Verdugo Was Under The Weather
2 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (illness) was held out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds and didn't pinch hit in the ninth inning because he wasn't feeling well, according to manager Alex Cora. However, Cora expects Verdugo to return to Wednesday's lineup versus Reds right-hander Luke Weaver. Fantasy managers will need to check Boston's lineup to make sure Verdugo is back in there, but if he is, he needs to be returned to all starting lineups. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter is batting a strong .291 (58-for-199) this year with 16 doubles, a triple, five home runs, 21 RBI, three stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 51 games played. However, he's gone just 5-for-24 (.208) with a double and two RBI in his last six games.
