He threw a simulated game yesterday (Tuesday) and is slated to make a minor league rehab start Sunday. As long as there are no complications, that puts him on line to join the Tigers' rotation next Friday, June 5th.

Verlander will start for Triple-A Toledo at Indianapolis Sunday. He is scheduled to throw 80-85 pitches.Comment -
I feel like Verlander is past his glory days. Once the likes of Kershaw, we will see how he bounces backComment -
Who needs the day job when you got her.Comment -
Plus he's getting paid $28M per year until 2019 guaranteed. Looking like a terrible contract for the Tigers.Originally posted by CrossComment -
That's good news, now he can end his career with a 4.00 + ERA. Last two years I think he was close to 5.00 +. LOL.Originally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
Agree man sleeping next to Upton is pricelessOriginally posted by CrossComment -
Always a reliable fade in the playoffs.Comment -
OH! So he must've finally finished Jazzing all over Kate Upton's back then?Comment -
Verlander is getting a second rehab start for Toledo Saturday. He threw 79 pitches in his first start Sunday and is expected to throw 85-90 on Saturday, after which he could be deemed ready ready to come off the DL and join the Tigers' rotation. His velocity was good in his first start as he hit 96 MPH, but his command was not as he only went 2.2 innings, allowing three runs on six hits plus two walks and also hitting a batter.Comment -
96 mph not too shabbyComment -
Hit or miss guy going forward. Tigers really need him to be decent with other staffs strugglesComment -
when does he pitch?Comment -
Post #18, one more rehab start for Toledo tomorrow (Saturday)Originally posted by Big BearComment -
probably just doing Toledo a favor to help them boost ticket salesOriginally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
No, Tigers probably want to see better command. Read post 18.Originally posted by Big BearComment -
or both...Originally posted by LT Profits
no point in bringing your ace up to the show when your team is on a losing streak
you don't want the losing vibes to rub off on verlanderComment -
Justin Verlander (triceps) fanned nine hitters while allowing just one unearned run Saturday in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.
He threw 93 pitches over 5 2/3 innings, topping out at 94 mph on his fastball. Verlander struggled in his first rehab start but he looked ready for the majors this time around. Expect the former AL MVP to make his season debut sometime next week.

94 mph is decent but his days of being a true ace are over.Comment -
Not a true ace anymore, that's price.Comment -
topping out at 94 is gas but not the elite mlb gas ace pitchers need unless they have movement. He will need to become more of a pitcher than a power throwerComment -
Verlander will make his first start for the Tigers Saturday vs. the Indians.Comment -
Maybe they should trade him to the cubs.Comment -
Fade his 1st start
Comment -
I like that idea, especially so if the Tigers are the favorites.Originally posted by mr. leisureFade his 1st startComment -
He has been declining for the past 2/3 yearsComment -
