Verdugo left Saturday's game against Seattle due to an illness and remained out Sunday, but he's ready to go following Monday's scheduled off day and a negative COVID-19 test. The Red Sox will be looking for much more from him going forward, as he hit just .214/.255/.321 through 38 games prior to his brief absence.
