Flaherty & Verlander Rehab Updates | Detroit Tigers News

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty is nearing a return, set to throw a simulated game this Saturday against teammates after a rehab start in Triple-A. He’s been sidelined by right flexor tendon inflammation since July. Veteran Justin Verlander, 43, is also progressing with mound work but won’t face live batters; he’s pushing to pitch again before the season ends on September 27, despite previously planning retirement. Outfielder Kerry Carpenter is ramping up activity in Florida but remains limited, while Wenceel Pérez is likely done for the year after suffering an orbital fracture. Pitcher Keider Montero is heading home to be with his family for the birth of his child and will be placed on paternity leave, with Andrew Sears expected to take his roster spot. No firm return dates are set for either Flaherty or Verlander as the season winds down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
