DETROIT (AP) --- Justin Verlander's long-awaited return to Comerica Park as a
member of the Detroit Tigers was put on hold Saturday.
Verlander, the major league's oldest active player at 43, was placed on the
15-day injured list with left hip inflammation. On Sunday night, Verlander was
scheduled to make his first start in a Tigers uniform at Detroit's home park
since Aug. 20, 2017.
Verlander was dealt to Houston at the trade deadline that season. He re-signed
with Detroit on a one-year, $13 million contract in February after spending
last season with San Francisco.
Verlander made 380 starts for Detroit from 2005-17. In his first start this
season, Verlander gave up five runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings against
Arizona on Monday and took the loss.
RHP Keider Montero was recalled from Triple-A Toledo and is expected to start
the finale of a three-game series against St. Louis.
