Red Sox's Alex Verdugo: Returns to action

Verdugo went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Marlins.

Verdugo returned from a four-game absence while on the bereavement list. His first-inning double delivered Boston's lone run and extended his hit streak to 13 games. The outfielder has slashed .393/.443/.589 during that stretch. The 27-year-old Verdugo is tied for 24th in the majors with 2.4 fWAR.
