Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander lands on injured list before Cardinals clash
The Detroit Tigers placed veteran right-hander Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left hip inflammation, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, who shared news of the development on his X, formerly Twitter, account Saturday afternoon.
Detroit Tigers great Justin Verlander, who was scheduled to make his first start Sunday night at Comerica Park since 2017, is now going on the 15-day IL with left hip inflammation.

The move comes just one day before the three-time Cy Young Award winner was scheduled to start Sunday night at Comerica Park vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. It would have marked Verlander’s first home appearance for Detroit since 2017.
The late change forces the Tigers to adjust their rotation and delays a highly anticipated homecoming for both fans and the franchise icon.
