Justin Verlander Strikes Out Six In Rehab Outing
2 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his minor-league rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Friday, giving up two hits while walking one and striking out six. He is scheduled to come off the injured list to make his debut for the Mets early next week against his former team, the Detroit Tigers. The 40-year-old right-hander threw 69 pitches in the outing and looked good. He might not be fully stretched out the way fantasy managers would like in his season debut next week, but he'll be getting a nice matchup and is worth throwing out there in starting fantasy lineups. The three-time Cy Young winner has yet to be slowed down by Father Time and once again has ace potential if he can stay healthy the rest of the way.
