Yankees' Alex Verdugo: Sitting against southpaw

Verdugo is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rays.

With southpaw Tyler Alexander taking the hill for the Rays on Sunday, the righty-hitting Jahmai Jones will start in left field and bat ninth in place of the lefty-hitting Verdugo. Verdugo has gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last two games.
