3 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo hasn't provided the numbers fantasy managers have hoped for so far and continued that in Thursday's 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He was 0-for-4 with a strikeout, and in his last 15 games, he's hitting .153. Across 25 contests overall, Verdugo's slashing .217/.255/.337 with three home runs, 13 RBI, five runs and no stolen bases. The 25-year-old once had a lot of potential as a member of the Dodgers organization, but besides the shortened 2020, hasn't lived up to it. Verdugo's a career .285 hitter, though his .779 OPS isn't as impressive. He should be able to turn things around batting average-wise, considering his 8.8% strikeout rate. However, he likely won't contribute much to home runs and stolen bases.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
