Justin Verlander: Breaking News

Slated for one more rehab start

Verlander (hip) will not return from the 60-day injured list during the Tigers' upcoming home series against the Twins, suggesting that he will make at least one more rehab start, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reported Wednesday that Verlander was in line to return from the IL against Minnesota. However, the veteran right-hander needs at least one more rehab start before coming back to the majors, which will take place Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. He made one rehab start for Toledo this past Tuesday, when he tossed 64 pitches and allowed four hits while striking out three batters across five scoreless innings.

Likely rejoining rotation next week

Verlander (hip) is likely to rejoin the Tigers' rotation next week against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Ty Madden has been shifted to a bullpen role, clearing the path for Verlander's return. The 43-year-old threw 64 pitches over five shutout innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, and it's expected to be the only rehab outing he needs before returning to the Tigers' active roster. Verlander has been shelved by left hip inflammation since early April.

Five scoreless in rehab start

Verlander (hip) struck out three over five scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. Verlander induced 10 whiffs on 64 pitches and averaged 93.5 mph with his four-seamer, which is right in line with his velocity from 2025. The 43-year-old's next appearance could come with the Tigers, though the team has not yet confirmed as much. Verlander has been sidelined since early April left hip inflammation.
