Verdugo is booted from the roster to make room for the reinstatement of Jurickson Profar. He struggled mightily in his time with Atlanta with a slash of .239/.296/.289 batting line with zero home runs over 56 games. If Verdugo goes unclaimed, he’ll be eligible to hit the free-agent market.

It looks to be another routine night off for the 29-year-old outfielder. Even with a right-hander on the hill, Verdugo will take a seat for the Braves in favor of Eli White who will start in left field and bat seventh for the Braves against Griffin Canning. His usefulness from a fantasy perspective, even in the deepest of leagues, will likely come to an end when Jurickson Profar returns from his suspension on July 2.

Verdugo did have three hits Sunday, but he’s now sitting at .200/.257/.246 in 70 plate appearances this month. At this rate, he might take a backseat to Eli White in left field after Ronald Acuña Jr. is activated.

It looks to be just a routine night off for the 28-year-old outfielder. It is against a left-hander in Bailey Falter, but Verdugo started and continued to lead off against each of the two previous left-handers that the Braves faced so it doesn’t feel like that’s the reason for his absence. Expect to see him back atop the Braves’ lineup on Saturday.

The second double was a 386-foot fly that would have been a homer in 13 ballparks. As is, Verdugo is still looking for his first homer as a member of the Braves. He’s hitting a fine .322/.385/.441, however.

Verdugo led off the home half of the first inning by working Dustin May for a walk, then he rode home on Austin Riley’s first two-run homer of the evening. The 28-year-old outfielder then led off the third inning with a single and once again scored on a two-run blast off the bat of Riley. Verdugo has done a nice job since joining the Braves, slashing .304/.361/.393 with zero homers and six RBI through his first 13 ballgames.

This appears to just be a day of rest for Verdugo. He’ll get a break against Colorado with Eddie Rosario starting in left field. Michael Harris II moves up to the leadoff spot in Verdugo’s absence.

Verdugo already has two four-hit games for the Braves, though he’s 4-for-28 in his other six contests. He isn’t the worst option in mixed leagues for teams looking more for batting average than homers or steals. However, his limitations in those categories hold him back from sporting real value.

Verdugo has easily his best game as a member of Atlanta, which isn’t saying a lot since he’s only been with the team since Thursday. The 28-year-old has been hitting at the top of Atlanta’s order, and while they’ve struggled early on, that obviously presents opportunity considering he’s hitting behind players like Marcell Ozuna and Austin Riley. Verdugo hasn’t provided fantasy fireworks, but those who need outfield help might want to consider a pickup. The worst thing that happens is you drop him if this doesn’t work out.

Verdugo is up, Bryan De La Cruz is down. The 28-year-old will have a chance to make his debut with Atlanta after signing with the team late in the spring, and he hit .207/.303/.448 with the Stripers over 33 plate appearances. Verdugo would be worth a look in NL-only formats, but can be left alone in most leagues.
