Eligibility
Alex Verdugo contributed significantly in the Yankees' narrow 2-1 win over the Angels, delivering a solo home run in his 1-for-4 performance at the plate.
Fantasy Impact
This home run marks Verdugo's eighth of the season, helping him maintain a solid .260 batting average through 54 games. While his power numbers are respectable, Verdugo's overall impact in fantasy remains moderate due to a relatively low walk rate (0.086) and an average wOBA (.325). Fantasy managers should view him as a reliable, yet not spectacular, option in outfield slots, particularly in formats that reward power and run production. His consistency in hitting home runs can be a valuable asset in deeper leagues or as a fill-in during hot streaks.

Fantasy Impact
His performance included a crucial solo home run that contributed to the team's win. This season, Verdugo has been somewhat inconsistent, maintaining a .254 batting average with six home runs and 26 RBI over 48 games. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Verdugo for signs of a hot streak, though his current stats suggest he remains more of a depth option in standard leagues.
Alex Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the Yankees' narrow 5-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's defeat, Verdugo's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to drive in runs when given the opportunity. This game pushes his season RBI total to 24 and batting average to .255, indicating a potentially upward trend in his offensive production. His consistent contact and ability to find gaps, evidenced by his 10 doubles this season, should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and RBI. However, his lack of home runs and stolen bases might limit his ceiling in categories-based leagues.
