The Boston Red Sox will try to put a bad day behind them and salvage the finale of a three-game series with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.
Boston's bad day started when outfielder Alex Verdugo was scratched from the lineup with no explanation. Neither Red Sox manager Alex Cora nor Verdugo, who never got into the game, commented on the reason.
"That was a different situation," Cora said. "I think , we took a step back as a team. We have to make sure everybody's available every single day here for us to get to wherever we're going to go. And that wasn't the case. And as a manager, I've got to take charge of this, and I decided he wasn't going to play."When asked if he arrived to Fenway Park on time on Saturday, Verdugo said he did.
Toronto is scheduled to start right-hander Chris Bassitt on Sunday. Bassitt has faced the Red Sox once in his career, in 2021, when he allowed two runs and three hits with 10 strikeouts in seven innings. Toronto's George Springer, who ended an 0-for-35 drought recently, had four hits and a walk on Saturday.
