Summary
Justin Verlander is inching closer to returning to the Detroit Tigers’ rotation after a rehab start that went well—five scoreless innings, 64 pitches—but the team wants him to build up his arm strength further. Scheduled for another rehab game with Triple-A Toledo this Wednesday, Verlander aims to throw 70-80 pitches and go six innings. Though he’d love to pitch in Detroit’s next series, he’s embracing the cautious approach after missing significant time this season. Weather delays pushed his next outing back, but if he hits his targets without issues, he could rejoin the Tigers for their road series against the Astros around June 15-16—marking a welcome return for the veteran ace.
