Justin Verlander Placed on 15-Day IL With Hip Inflammation

The Detroit Tigers have placed 43-year-old veteran Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Wednesday, due to left hip inflammation. The move puts his highly anticipated season debut on hold; he was scheduled to make his first home start for the Tigers since 2017 this past Sunday. Verlander, who returned to Detroit after nine seasons elsewhere, is currently undergoing treatment. Further updates on his recovery timeline are expected as he addresses the inflammation.
