Verlander (neck) threw more than 50 pitches in his bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
The exact number of pitches wasn't reported, but this was a step forward from his last session July 20 when he threw 40 pitches. It's expected that Verlander will return from the injured list in the upcoming week, though the team's exact plans are unclear.
