Verlander to Make Season Debut vs. Indians

Tuesday, June 9

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Verlander will return from his triceps injury on June 13, according to James Schmehl of MLive.com.

Verlander won the American League Cy Young Award and the pitching Triple Crown in 2011, posting MLB-best totals in wins, ERA and strikeouts that year. However, he experienced adversity in 2014, as injuries hampered him, leading to one of the worst seasons of his career.

A nagging right shoulder problem and surgery before the season to address an abdominal injury were among the issues Verlander faced last year.

Losing Max Scherzer to the Washington Nationals this winter was a big blow to Detroit's pitching rotation. The Tigers will undoubtedly be thrilled to have Verlander back in the fold.
