ALEX VERDUGO NEWS

Showy debut for Red Sox Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Verdugo made his debut for Boston after he was held out of Friday's opener when Baltimore started a left-hander. He's not expected to sit against every lefty, but manager Ron Roenicke wants to get Kevin Pillar in the lineup against southpaws, so Verdugo or Jackie Bradley or Andrew Benintendi could sit on those occasions. As for Verdugo on Saturday, he had three singles and ran the bases with abandon, going from first to third on a single and taking second on a wild pitch.

Swings against velocity Verdugo was allowed to step into the batter's box for Saturday's simulated game, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Verdugo wasn't scheduled to bat against Nathan Eovaldi, one of the hardest throwers in the majors, but he asked to face him and manager Ron Roenicke obliged. The outfielder saw it as a way to test the stress fracture in his back that limited him during spring training and threatened his availability for the start of the regular season before the pandemic put a temporary halt to the 2020 season. "I took a full swing, I swung and missed and had no pain, no discomfort," Verdugo said. "That was really reassuring. That's really what this is about. It's just to get my timing back and to reassure that my body, physically everything, is handling the progression." Verdugo is expected to be ready to roll when the season opens up in three weeks.

Regular against lefties Pillar is expected to be in the lineup whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact With J.D. Martinez expected to serve as the everyday designated hitter, the door is open for the right-handed hitting Pillar to be the fourth outfielder. That puts him in line to replace any of the three left-handed-hitting starters -- Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley or Alex Verdugo -- against southpaws.
