Batting leadoff in Atlanta debut Verdugo will start in left field and bat leadoff in Friday's game versus the Twins.

Impact Verdugo is not only being thrown right into the lineup for his Atlanta debut, but he's being placed at the top of the batting order, as well. The veteran outfielder should play regularly for his new club at least against right-handed pitching. Verdugo slashed only .233/.291/.356 across 149 regular-season games for the Yankees in 2024.

Recalled to Atlanta Atlanta recalled Verdugo from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Verdugo played nine games at Gwinnett after signing with Atlanta in late March, slashing .207/.303/.448 with two home runs and a 2:2 K:BB over 33 plate appearances. The 28-year-old is coming off a lackluster 2024 campaign that saw him post a .647 OPS across 149 regular-season contests, but with Atlanta's injuries and lack of production in the corner outfield spots, Verdugo should receive something close to everyday playing time.

Expected to join Atlanta this week Verdugo is expected to join Atlanta's active roster this week, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Verdugo has participated in seven games with Triple-A Gwinnett, going 4-for-22 with a pair of home runs, including one long ball on Sunday. It's uncertain whether Verdugo will join Atlanta on Monday for the start of its series in Toronto or on Friday when the club begins a homestand, but "all signs point" to the veteran outfielder being recalled this week, per O'Brien. Jarred Kelenic and Bryan De La Cruz have both struggled, so Verdugo figures to immediately get an opportunity at regular playing time in the outfield corners for Atlanta.

Inks $1.5 million deal with Atlanta Atlanta signed Verdugo to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Verdugo's free-agent market has been quiet all winter, but he's finally managed to land a major-league deal a week before Opening Day. It's not clear when Verdugo might be able to play, but when he's ready he will offer an alternative to Jarred Kelenic in right field until Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready. Verdugo slashed only .233/.291/.356 across 149 regular-season games for the Yankees in 2024.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No MLB offers in free agency Verdugo has yet to receive an offer for a major-league deal since becoming a free agent in November, a league source tells Brendan Kuty of The Athletic.

Impact Verdugo lacks the power profile most teams value in corner outfielders, but as an under-30 player with a career 101 wRC+ over parts of eight seasons in the majors, it comes as a surprise that he apparently hasn't been offered anything more than a minor-league deal throughout the winter and spring. Given his track record in the big leagues, Verdugo has understandably been unwilling to sign what he perceives as a below-market deal, but he may have to wait for a team's outfield depth to be tested by injuries early in the season before he gets an offer to his liking. While he waits for an opportunity, Verdugo has reportedly kept himself in playing shape by training on his own at his home in Arizona.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still looking for new home Verdugo is running out of time to sign on with a team before the start of the season, Matt Ehalt of the New York Post reports.

Impact Verdugo has been previously linked to the Mets, Blue Jays, Astros, Angels and Pirates this offseason, but those clubs either no longer have interest or they're simply not willing to offer the veteran outfielder what he feels he's worth. The 28-year-old slashed only .233/.291/.356 across 149 regular-season games for the Yankees in 2024 but graded out as a plus defender in left field.
