Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, 43, has encountered another setback this season, straining his left hamstring during a bullpen session, which will sideline him for several weeks, as confirmed by manager A.J. Hinch. Previously on the injured list with left hip inflammation, Verlander was expected to return for a start on Sunday. Despite feeling improvement in his hip, he expressed frustration over his hamstring injury, calling it “unfortunate.” The nine-time All-Star, the oldest active MLB player, signed a one-year, $13 million deal to rejoin the Tigers after a storied career, including a Cy Young and MVP award.
