Alex Verdugo News: Receiving day off vs. lefty

Published on May 9, 2025

Verdugo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Verdugo started the previous seven games, including two against left-handed starters, but he'll sit Friday while in the midst of an 0-for-14 slump. Eli White will shift to left field while Stuart Fairchild starts in right versus Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter.
