Fantasy Impact
With Jurickson Profar (suspension) reinstated from the restricted list, the Braves have designated Alex Verdugo for assignment. Verdugo slashed .239/.296/.289 over 56 games with the team and will likely clear waivers and become a free agent.
Alex Verdugo went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Cincinnati.
Fantasy Impact
Verdugo’s average fell to .297 after the hitless outing, though he still holds a solid OBP (.357) with 19 hits and seven RBI through 64 at-bats. While this one was quiet, he’s remained one of the more consistent contact bats in Atlanta’s lineup, and his low strikeout rate gives him staying power in average-focused leagues.
Alex Verdugo is in the starting lineup for the Braves Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Verdugo will start in left field and leadoff against the Dodgers. He is hitting .341 with six RBI this season.
