Overview

  • Verlander threw a bullpen Wednesday that A.J. Hinch said fell short of their target but did not worsen his hip issue.
  • Hinch said Thursday the club will stay day to day because progress has moved a little slower than expected.
  • The right-hander will travel to Boston for the Red Sox series and is expected to throw in some form at Fenway Park.
  • Detroit will not move him into game action until he is closer to 100 percent, according to Hinch.
  • The 43-year-old has made one start this season with five runs allowed in 3 2/3 innings and remains on the 15-day injured list with left hip inflammation.
