A disappointed Justin Verlander explains why his Detroit homecoming will have to wait
- On Saturday, the Detroit Tigers placed 43-year-old pitcher Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list due to left hip inflammation, sidelining him from his scheduled start.
- Manager AJ Hinch reported Verlander felt hip discomfort on Friday, then failed a test session Saturday that prompted the roster move retroactive to April 1.
- Verlander, the oldest active MLB player at 43, signed a one-year, $13 million deal with Detroit this offseason, returning to the franchise where he spent his first 13 seasons from 2005 to 2017.
- Right-Hander Keider Montero was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take Verlander's spot on the 26-man roster and is expected to start Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
- The move is retroactive to April 1, making Verlander eligible to return as soon as April 16, though the injury tests Detroit's pitching depth early in the season.
