Astros' Justin Verlander: Slated for bullpen
Verlander (neck) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
It will be Verlander's third time on a mound as he recovers from a neck issue, with his first coming just before the All-Star break. The 41-year-old was stretched out to 40 pitches in his last bullpen and could be one or two more sessions away from the next stage in his recovery, whether that's a rehab assignment or an immediate return to the Houston rotation.
