Alex Verdugo

The Los Angeles Dodgers assigned Sahuaro gradΒ Alex VerdugoΒ to their Triple-A Oklahoma City affiliate for the Pacific Coast League championship series. Verdugo batted cleanup and played right field, hitting .333 in four games, although El Paso won the series. After spending the regular season at Double-A Tulsa, Verdugo will have a busy fall. He will be part of the Dodgers’ Instructional League camp early next month, then play for the Dodgers’ Arizona Fall League team through Thanksgiving.
