According to the site, Verlander’s return to action is still TBD.

Looking At Verlander
Verlander was picked in the 1st round of the 2004 MLB Draft.
He spent the first 12.5 seasons of his career with the Tigers.
In that span, Verlander established himself as one of the best pitchers of his era.
Verlander then went to the Houston Astros where he won two World Series titles.
He also had stops with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants over 21 seasons in the MLB.
Over 556 games, Verlander has gone 266-159 with a 3.33 ERA.
Verlander recently announced that this will be his final season.
