Verdugo went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo turned what could have been a gut-punch loss into a win with a walkoff, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Boston held a 3-0 lead in the top half of the inning before Adam Ottavino (three runs on three hits) gave it away. Verdugo is slashing .320/.424/.452 with nine RBI and 12 runs scored over 20 games since returning from a personal absence in mid-August.

Verdugo isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo will get a rare day off after he went 4-for-12 with a triple, a run and two strikeouts across the last three games. Danny Santana will start in center field and bat seventh.

Verdugo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo went 1-for-2 in stolen base attempts Sunday, which puts him at 6-for-8 on the basepaths this year. The outfielder has gone 11-for-27 (.407) across his last seven games, lifting his season slash line to .284/.354/.429 with 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 76 runs scored and 27 doubles through 503 plate appearances. With Enrique Hernandez on the COVID-19 injured list, Verdugo should see regular playing time in center field or right field for the next week or more.

Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He took Kolby Allard deep in the second inning to get the Red Sox on the board. The homer was Verdugo's 12th of the year and first in nine games since returning to the team following the birth of his first child, but he's batting .313 (10-for-32) with five RBI and six runs during that stretch.

Verdugo went 0-for-4 with a walk in Friday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder was away from the team for five days while attending the birth of his child. Verdugo wasn't able to do much in his return to the lineup. He has a .276/.342/.424 slash line with 11 home runs, 41 RBI, 66 runs scored and five stolen bases through 444 plate appearances. With Kyle Schwarber coming off the injured list Friday, Verdugo and Jarren Duran could see reductions in playing time in a suddenly crowded Boston outfield.

Verdugo was reinstated from the restricted list Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo spent five days away from the team for the birth of his child, including the maximum of three days on the paternity list plus two more on the restricted list. He'll join an outfield that's more crowded than it was when he left, as Kyle Schwarber (groin) was activated from the injured list Friday as well. Verdugo could lose the occasional start as as result, though his .278/.344/.428 slash line should keep him in the lineup most nights. Tanner Houck was optioned in a corresponding move.

Verdugo was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo hit the paternity list Sunday, but players can only miss three games with that designation. He's not quite ready to return, so he'll move to the restricted list for now. Franchy Cordero will start in left field in his absence against the Rays on Thursday.

Verdugo (paternity) likely won't rejoin the team until Thursday's game against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo was placed on the paternity list prior to Sunday's game, and per Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican, he's set to fly back to Boston on Wednesday night, meaning he won't be back with the club until Thursday. Per MLB rules, a player is only able to spend three games on the paternity list, so it seems likely that Boston will be forced to play a man short Wednesday with Verdugo being activated.

Verdugo was placed on the paternity list Sunday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo started the past 17 games for the Red Sox but will step away from the team for a few days in order to spend some time with his growing family. The 25-year-old should be back in action Wednesday or Thursday against the Rays.

Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two singles in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo came up clutch with a solo home run to dead center off Jose Berrios to tie the game at one in the sixth inning. While his teammates struggled to figure out Berrios, Verdugo accounted for three of the five hits allowed by the right-hander on the night. The fiery outfielder is now hitting .362 against the Blue Jays this season with three home runs and nine RBI.
