“He just wasn't feeling well enough to start playing catch,” manager Joe Espada said before the team's series opener at the Chicago White Sox. “So he just needs some more time to get over this."“We're just going to give him some time with no throw and see if we can get some of that neck discomfort stiffness out of there before he starts throwing again,” Espada said.
Verlander is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts this season. Espada said a timeline for Verlander's return depends on his recovery. Right-hander Nick Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to replace Verlander on the roster.
