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.
