ALEX VERDUGO NEWS

Bright spot in loss Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Verdugo launched his fourth homer of the season in the fourth inning, one of four hits Boston's offense could muster against right-hander Gerrit Cole. The outfielder is one of the few bright spots in a disappointing Red Sox season. Verdugo's hit safely in nine of the last 10 games with four homers and seven RBI.

Leading off Saturday Verdugo is leading off in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Verdugo has swung a hot bat recently with three home runs in the past two games, so he'll take the place of Andrew Benintendi atop Boston's lineup. Given the 24-year-old's usual place near the bottom of the order, it's unclear whether his role as the leadoff hitter will continue going forward.

Two-homer night Friday Verdugo went 2-for-3 with a walk and two solo home runs in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact He took Tanner Roark deep over the Green Monster in the second inning, and then clobbered a Rafael Dolis offering in the eighth that nearly left Fenway entirely. As the cherry on top of Verdugo's performance, he then robbed Travis Shaw of a homer over the bullpen fence in right field in the ninth. Verdugo now has three home runs and four RBI on the season -- all of them coming in the last two days -- with a .294/.368/.559 slash line through 11 games.

Could move up to leadoff spot Verdugo could move up to the leadoff spot at some point soon, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Verdugo has hit eighth sixth or seventh in all of his appearances thus far. Regular leadoff man Andrew Benintendi certainly hasn't lived up to the role, hitting a miserable .069/.289/.103 in 39 plate appearances. Verdugo hasn't stated a great case himself, though, hitting a modest .258/.324/.355 in 34 trips to the plate.
