Verdugo told reporters that he's "fine" after hitting his knee on the wall in Thursday's win over the Braves, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young outfielder tried to make a sliding catch along the foul line in right field, but he slid too late and ended up hitting the wall underneath the padding. Fortunately, Verdugo shook it off and played the rest of the game. It appears he avoided any type of injury, but it'll be worth monitoring whether he can stay in the lineup Friday.

Verdugo started in center field and went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo has now started two consecutive games since being called up July 23. Tuesday's start came in place of Matt Kemp, and Wednesday's was to give Chris Taylor the day off in center. With Joc Pederson taking a hold of the left field job against righties, it appears that Verdugo will be limited to a fourth outfielder role until Yasiel Puig (oblique) returns from the disabled list Saturday.

Verdugo was called up by the Dodgers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo appeared in nine games for the Dodgers earlier in the season, going 9-for-34 at the plate. Justin Turner (groin) was placed on the disabled list in a corresponding move.

Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two doubles Monday in Triple-A Oklahoma City's 10-4 loss to Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo is in the midst of his hottest stretch of the season, with Monday's contest marking his fifth straight with at least two hits. He has collected seven extra-base hits over that span and has failed to reach base just one of his 25 games since the Dodgers optioned him back to Triple-A. While Verdugo's .350 average and .914 OPS for Oklahoma City this season suggest he has nothing left to prove in the Pacific Coast League, he may have to wait for an injury to hit the Los Angeles outfield until he receives another extended look from the big club.

Verdugo (ankle) is back in the lineup as the designated hitter Monday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers' top prospect had been sidelined since April 22 with a rolled ankle, and the Dodgers will ease him back as the DH. He is hitting .301/.336/.456 with four home runs and zero steals over 103 at-bats this season at Triple-A.

Verdugo is not in the lineup for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday after twisting his ankle during Tuesday's game, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo exited Tuesday's minor-league game in the third inning after turning his ankle while making a throw. The injury isn't believe to be serious, per Gurnick, but the Dodgers will obviously proceed cautiously with one of their top prospects.

Verdugo was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo will head back to the minors in order to clear a spot on the roster for Yasiel Puig (ankle), who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move. The top prospect was set to lose a good amount of playing time with Puig returning to action, so the Dodgers opted to send him back to the minors to get everyday at-bats with Oklahoma City. He hit a fine .265/.306/.382 across 37 plate appearances with the big club and should be back at some point this season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts relayed Sunday that Verdugo would see significant playing time in the outfield following Yasiel Puig's (hip/foot) placement on the 10-day disabled list, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo joined the Dodgers for their doubleheader Saturday against the Giants, starting in the second game of the twin bill and going 2-for-3 with a walk. The 21-year-old was on the bench for Sunday's 4-2 loss, but that likely had more to do with Roberts opting for a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Giants southpaw Ty Blach. Based on Roberts' comments, Verdugo seems likely to start in all of the Dodgers' next three games against the Diamondbacks, who list right-handed pitchers as their probable starters for each of those contests. The promise of steady playing time along with Verdugo's standing as a top-tier prospect in the Dodgers organization could make him worth an activation in deeper or NL-only leagues this week.

Verdugo was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. He is starting in right field and hitting eighth against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt Kemp (quad) and Yasiel Puig (foot) dealing with minor ailments, the Dodgers decided to bring up Verdugo ahead of the second game of Saturday's twin bill. The 21-year-old prospect owns a .276/.309/.474 batting line and four homers through 81 plate appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season. It's unclear if he'll stick with the big club, but he could have the opportunity to earn playing time if Puig is forced to miss any time.

Verdugo was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Verdugo was in the mix for the Dodgers' left field job this spring but will start the season in the minors. The 21-year-old performed well with a .324 average and .979 OPS over 34 at-bats in spring training but Los Angeles is still considering the veteran options for the position, such as Matt Kemp, Joc Pederson and Andrew Toles.
