Justin Verlander, the Houston Astros pitcher, is on the path to recovery and set to make a significant step in his return to Major League Baseball. Verlander, who has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, recently completed a simulated game where he threw three innings and 52 pitches in a simulated game. Following this, he is scheduled to start a Minor League rehab assignment. His first rehab start is planned for Sunday's Triple-A game at Sugar Land, where he is expected to throw 70-75 pitches. Verlander will need one additional start after this before he can rejoin the Astros. This progression marks a critical phase in Verlander's recovery and return to the team.
