US EditionInjured Giants Pitcher Justin Verlander Takes the Mound for a Bullpen Session in Detroit
- Justin Verlander, the 42-year-old right-handed pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, threw a bullpen session Tuesday night at Comerica Park in Detroit.
- Verlander is attempting to bounce back after exiting his May 18 outing against the Athletics early due to discomfort in his right chest area.
- He experienced difficulty with his velocity and control during his May 18 start, left the game after four innings, and after throwing on the side last Wednesday, was moved to the 15-day injured list effective May 19 while continuing rehabilitation.
- Verlander is 0-3 with a 4.33 ERA, 41 strikeouts, 21 walks, and allows 1.404 base runners per inning, the worst since 2008 for seasons with more than two starts.
- While the Giants hope Verlander returns after missing only two starts, his continuing struggles suggest a challenging season recovering from injury and fitness issues.
