Verlander's Final Season Hangs in Balance | Detroit Tigers News

Justin Verlander’s return to the Detroit Tigers was meant to be a heroic farewell, but injury after injury has derailed his comeback—just one start this season due to hip inflammation and a hamstring setback. Pushing through pain, as he usually does, hasn’t worked this time. Now, he’s adopting a cautious approach, balancing recovery with the team’s fading playoff hopes. He won’t risk being a liability if Detroit still has a shot, but if they’re out, he might pitch in a few final games—if healthy enough to win. The Tigers are honoring him with a two-day celebration at home, a fitting tribute to a legend whose final season isn’t unfolding like the script he hoped for.
