Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander is back in Detroit after a challenging 2024 season marred by injury and a poor ERA. He rebounded in 2025 by making adjustments to his delivery and pitch mix, leading to a strong second half with a 2.99 ERA. As he enters the 2026 season, expectations should be tempered, focusing on his health and contributions rather than his former dominance. Verlander’s experience and adaptability may still provide valuable production and leadership for the team.
