Something I learned because of this card: Like yesterday's rookie, Verdugo did not begin the season on his team's Opening Day roster. Hard to crack the roster on a playoff team. Apparently he's behind Andrew Tholes on the depth chart, who lost out on the 25th roster spot out of Spring Training to Joc Pederson.

As a rookie card, this is Verdugo's first Opening Day card.

Verdugo was featured in Series 1, but with a different photo, one that was horizontally oriented.
