  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Sitting against southpaw

    Verdugo is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rays.

    With southpaw Tyler Alexander taking the hill for the Rays on Sunday, the righty-hitting Jahmai Jones will start in left field and bat ninth in place of the lefty-hitting Verdugo. Verdugo has gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last two games.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Big day against Houston

    Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Astros.

    The 27-year-old got the rout started for the Yankees by launching a three-run homer off Justin Verlander in the bottom of the first inning. Verdugo has gone yard three times in his last eight games while batting .324 (11-for-34), and the surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .275/.362/.450 with five homers, one steal, 17 RBI and 19 runs in 34 contests.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Returns from paternity leave

    The Yankees activated Verdugo from the paternity list Thursday.

    Verdugo missed three games while tending to more important personal matters, but he's rejoined the club Thursday and presumably will be back in the lineup for their afternoon tilt against the Orioles. Aaron Judge played some left field while Verdugo was away but will now return to center field.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Goes on paternity leave

    The Yankees placed Verdugo (personal) on the paternity list Monday.

    While he leaves the team to celebrate the birth of his child, Verdugo won't be available for Monday's series opener in Baltimore, and he'll most likely remain away for games Tuesday and Wednesday before he would need to be activated ahead of Thursday's series finale versus the Orioles. The Yankees are scheduled to face right-handed starting pitchers for each of their next three games, so left-handed-hitting outfielders Trent Grisham and Taylor Trammell could represent logical replacements in the lineup for Verdugo.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Drives in four runs

    Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs in Saturday's 15-3 win against the Brewers.

    The Yankees offense came alive Saturday, and Verdugo led the way with a three-run homer in the opening inning. It was the outfielder's second straight game with a homer and his fourth long ball of the campaign. Verdugo started slow over the first couple weeks of the season with a .454 OPS through 10 games, but over the past three weeks he has a .350/.446/.600 slash line with six doubles, three homers and an 11:7 BB:K in 74 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Collects trio of hits

    Verdugo went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored during Sunday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.

    Verdugo played a key role in the Yankees' four-run fifth inning, plating Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton with a bases-loaded single before eventually coming around to score. Verdugo's runs batted in were his first since April 9 (10 games) despite him batting .306 with eight runs scored since.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Heating up at plate

    Over his past six games, Verdugo is slashing .300/.417/.650 with two homers, four RBI and a 4:0 BB:K.

    Verdugo went deep against Miami on Tuesday for his first long ball at home as a member of the Yankees. The outfielder started the season batting just 3-for-21 over his first six contests, but he's turned things around significantly since. The lefty batter has started all 12 games for the Yankees so far this season and is batting .385 (5-for-13) against southpaws versus just .143 (4-for-28) against right-handers.

  • Yankees' Alex Verdugo: First homer with Yankees

    Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over Arizona.

    Verdugo jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Kevin Ginkel in the top of the 10th inning and sent it into the stands in right field, scoring Anthony Volpe to give the Yankees a two-run lead. It marked the left fielder's first home run of the season and also his first in a Yankees uniform. However, even after his heroic effort in Wednesday's win, Verdugo is still batting just .160 on the season with three RBI and three runs scored.
