Shifts to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Verlander to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Analyse
The 43-year-old progressed to facing live batters Saturday as he continues to work his way back from hip inflammation, which sent him to the IL after his season debut March 30. Verlander was already likely to require a few rehab starts in the minors before rejoining Detroit's rotation, so the move to the 60-day IL likely doesn't affect his return timeline much. He'll be eligible to come off the IL at the start of June.

Facing hitters Saturday
Verlander (hip) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Verlander has been throwing bullpen sessions at nearly full intensity since Sunday, and Saturday will mark his first time facing live hitters since landing on the IL in early April. The Tigers haven't provided a timeline for the 43-year-old's return yet, though that may change once they see how he comes out of Saturday's round of BP.
