MAJOR LEAGUES Tigers pitcher Verlander heads to DL Comment By Detroit Free Press MailTribune.com By Detroit Free Press Posted Apr. 2, 2015 at 8:59 PM By Detroit Free Press Posted Apr. 2, 2015 at 8:59 PM » Social News LAKELAND, Fla. — It long has been a source of pride for Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander that he avoided the disabled list for the first 10 years of his MLB career. But manager Brad Ausmus announced Thursday that Verlander will start the 2015 season on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Saturday, because of a triceps strain. Reliever Bruce Rondon will also start the season on the 15-day DL, with biceps tendinitis. Verlander is expected to stay in Lakeland to continue throwing. He is optimistic that he’ll be able to make his season debut April 12, against the Cleveland Indians. “It just works out that it allows the team to have an extra bullpen guy,” Verlander said of his first stint on the DL. “You know, it’s kind of a crappy way to have it go, but it helps the team so …” This season starts the $28-million part of Verlander’s contract. He signed an extension in spring 2013 that replaced two existing years at $20 million apiece and added five more years (2015-19) at $28 million apiece. “His arm will let us know when he can get back on the mound,” Ausmus said. “Cautiously optimistic he’ll get back on the mound Saturday or Sunday.” Verlander has been throwing from 60 feet and said the injury is improving each day. “Threw yesterday,” Verlander said. “It was OK. Threw today, it was better. They say it’s a really good sign that it’s getting better while I’m throwing, too. You know, optimistic about that.” Verlander first described the injury as a cramp. “Obviously, at this point, I think they used the word ‘strain,’ ” he said. “It felt like just a little cramp but, obviously, with it taking a little longer to heal, it’s probably a little bit more than that. “Just take it, like I said, day by day. I mean, I know that’s kind of been like a broken record, but it’s really the way to treat it.” Is he concerned about the injury? “No, I think it’s just kind of a bump in the road early on,” he said. “I know I’ve touched on how much better my mechanics are, how much further out front I’m getting. More extension — I think just a combination of that and a little bit of dehydration kind of created the situation. I’m not overly concerned. I’m not really that concerned at all. Once it’s healed, I’ll be good to go.” Verlander was supposed to make his first start Wednesday, in the second game of the season at Comerica Park. David Price will pitch Opening Day on Monday, against the Minnesota Twins. Anibal Sanchez will now start Wednesday, followed by Shane Greene next Thursday. Alfredo Simon will start April 10 in Cleveland, followed by Price. If all goes well between now and then, Verlander would start the third game of that series.
