Alex Verdugo (LF,RF - NYY)

Alex Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Yankees' 7-6 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to his season totals, bringing him to three home runs and nine RBI over 27 games. Despite the loss, Verdugo's ability to connect for power is a positive sign, especially considering his modest .256 batting average and .343 wOBA. His strikeout rate remains impressively low at 0.083, and his walk rate at 0.139 suggests a decent eye at the plate. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Verdugo for potential upside, especially in leagues that value walks and on-base percentage.
