Braves' Alex Verdugo: Reclaims regular lineup spot

Verdugo will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

He appears to have taken back primary starting duties in left field from Eli White, as Verdugo gets a fifth straight start against a right-handed pitcher (Sandy Alcantara). Though his playing time has been trending up of late, Verdugo will move into a fourth-outfielder role beginning July 2, when Jurickson Profar (suspension) is eligible to return from the restricted list.
