Verlander blow for Astros
Print Edition
Reigning American League Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander was sidelined on Sunday with a right arm injury, dealing a crucial blow to the Houston Astros’ pitching rotation. Manager Dusty Baker said right-hander Verlander was expected to miss several weeks with a strained right forearm, but dispelled fears that he might be out for the rest of the season. “He’s shut down for a couple weeks and we’ll re-evaluate after that time,” Baker said. Verlander took to social media to deny speculation that he would be out long term. “The report that I’m currently missing the rest of the season is not accurate,” he said. The 37-year-old Verlander earned a victory over the Seattle Mariners in a 73-pitch performance on Friday.
