Verdugo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo is not in the lineup for the second time in the team's past five games. That comes in spite of the fact that he's hit well in post-All-Star break action, smacking three home runs and recording three multi-hit games. Matt Beaty will enter the lineup in his place, starting in left field and batting sixth.

Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a walk and solo home run Thursday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Verdugo took Hector Neris deep in the ninth inning to record his 12th home run of the season. It was his third long ball since the All-Star break, raising his slugging percentage to .505 across 330 plate appearances for the season. Even with the return of A.J. Pollock, Verdugo should continue to get regular at-bats due to the absence of Chris Taylor (forearm) and Joc Pederson's shift to first base.

Verdugo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning shot off Yu Darvish looked like it might be the game's only offense until Anthony Rizzo's game-winning blast off Kenley Jansen in the ninth. Verdugo now has five homers on the year but his previous one came April 24, and it's not yet clear whether the 23-year-old can develop into a consistent power source in the majors.
