Watch Now:

Verdugo (hamstring) is unlikely to return to the Red Sox's lineup until Friday's game against the Orioles, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Verdugo has been ruled out through Tuesday with left hamstring tightness, and while he could return for Wednesday's series finale with the Rays in a best-case scenario, the Red Sox will most likely wait until after Thursday's off day before returning him to the lineup. His expected absence for the series in Tampa should open up right field for Adam Duvall and center field for Wilyer Abreu.
