Alex Verdugo is showing signs that he may be snapping out of his extended slump.
WASHINGTON — As brutal as the last two months have been for Alex Verdugo , Monday offered a reminder of the player the Yankees believe he can be — and need him to be down the stretch if he is going to keep starting in left field.
Alex Verdugo congratulates Jazz Chisholm on his homer in the Yankees’ win over the Nationals on Aug. 26, 2024.It marked Verdugo’s second straight multi-hit effort, which came on the heels of going deep on Saturday for the first time since July 6. “To get some traction, especially all the work you put into it, pour in behind the scenes trying to unlock yourself and get it rolling to get some results, it’s good for the soul.”Rosters are set to expand on Sunday, and fans have been clamoring for Jasson Dominguez to be called up from Triple-A to take over in left field.
“I’m definitely feeling better,” Verdugo said. “Definitely putting better swings on and staying within myself a little bit more. It’s just, keep it going and try not to get too ahead of myself and look for damage or anything like that. Just keep taking what the pitchers are giving me.” Within the clubhouse, Verdugo has big supporters in Aaron Judge and Boone, who had both been trying to get him on the team before he was acquired from the Red Sox last offseason.
