Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander was scratched from Saturday's start against the Detroit Tigers because of neck discomfort.
Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander was scratched from Saturday's start against the Detroit Tigers because of neck discomfort. 'He’s been actually dealing with this for like the last two weeks, trying to pitch through it,' manager Joe Espada said. 'And we just felt like it's smart if we could just take a break here, skip a start and try to get to the bottom of it.' The Astros are hopeful that the 41-year-old right-hander won't need to go on the injured list.
' Verlander said he cut his bullpen session short on Wednesday because of the problem but had hoped that he'd feel good enough to start Saturday. 'It wasn't worse, it just kind of like flared up a little bit on me,' he said. 'And after a couple of my games, it’s been a little stiff and then I’ve been able to work through it and throw and get all the stuff I needed to get done.
