Tigers' Justin Verlander aims for final start before retirement

The Detroit Tigers are anticipating Justin Verlander's potential final start as the season nears its end. Verlander, who threw off the mound on September 2, displayed improved velocity, drawing optimism from manager A.J. Hinch. The team hopes to have Verlander pitch during his celebratory retirement weekend later this month. Additionally, Keider Montero has been placed on the paternity list after the birth of a new family member. Amid the warm sentiments, the team celebrated Hispanic Heritage with a ¡Fiesta Tigres! event honoring Gleyber Torres before a recent game.
