## Resource

Justin Verlander is closing in on his potential final start, targeted for September 26th against the Pirates at Comerica Park as part of a special “Ver-Fest” weekend. After throwing with more heat than in over a month during a recent session with hitters, he’s showing promising signs — though a nagging hamstring has slowed his farewell tour. His next big test? A simulated game in Chicago next weekend. With 266 wins, 3,500+ strikeouts, three Cy Youngs, an MVP, and Rookie of the Year honors, Verlander’s legacy is undeniable. If all goes according to plan, he’ll cap his legendary career with one last pitch in front of the Detroit faithful.
