Episode Details

Justin Verlanders comeback with the Detroit Tigers hit a major setback as he was placed on the injured list with hip inflammation, scrapping his second start against the Cardinals. The team called up Keider Montero from Triple-A Toledo to take his place. Verlander, a three-time Cy Young winner, spent his first fourteen years with the Tigers, leading them to the 2006 World Series and winning the 2012 Cy Young. He was traded to Houston in 2017, won titles there in 2017 and 2022, had a brief Mets stint in 2023, and then joined the Giants for a solid 2025 season. The Tigers hoped hed spark a World Series push alongside ace Tarik Skubal, but with Verlander sidelined, those plans are on hold for at least fifteen days. Despite the setback, the Tigers are off to a 3-4 start, snapping a four-game skid with a 4-0 win over St. Louis on Friday.
