Summary
Justin Verlander, 43, dominated a simulated game with 66 pitches, facing Tigers hitters including injured teammates, as he ramps up his comeback from hip inflammation. Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed no setbacks, praising Verlander’s improved strength and velocity—his fastball hit 95.3 mph—and his return to competitive form. With a rehab assignment imminent, the Tigers now focus on logistics, while Verlander’s mindset shifts back to peak performance. He’s been sidelined since April and will need roster moves when activated from the 60-day IL. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
