Alex Verdugo Enjoying Eight-Game Hitting Streak
2 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo swung the bat well Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, and three runs. The day extended his hitting streak to eight games and raised his batting average to .287. However, batting average is all fantasy managers get from Verdugo, as he's only slugged eight home runs, has 59 runs, 62 RBI, and one stolen base in 125 games. Those numbers are still relevant in standard leagues, but he probably belongs on the bench, especially if managers are looking for power.
