Houston's Justin Verlander is expected to throw another bullpen session as he tries to work his way back from neck discomfort.
Houston RHP Justin Verlander is expected to throw another bullpen session on Saturday, as the three-time Cy Young winner tries to work his way back from neck discomfort that landed him on the injured list a month ago. Houston manager Joe Espada said Verlander and Luis Garcia are expected to throw before the second game of the Astros' series in Seattle. The 41-year-old Verlander has been out since June 9 and is expected to throw around 25 pitches.
Garcia didn't throw a scheduled bullpen session last week, but at the time Espada didn't view it as a setback. Garcia underwent surgery in May 2023. Espada also said outfielder Kyle Tucker continues to make progress in his recovery from a right shin contusion but that he needs to start doing more running.
