Alex Verdugo left out of Red Sox's lineup Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Bruce Zimmerman and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

The Red Sox are facing a lefty starter for the third game in a row, but Verdugo has only been in the lineup for one of them. Kyle Schwarber is returning to the lineup to play left field and hit sixth.

numberFire’s models project Schwarber for 15.1 FanDuel points and he has a $4,000 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 5.4 runs, tied for the second-highest total on Tuesday. Zimmerman is registering an xwOBA and an xERA that both rank in the bottom 3% of the league this season.
