Justin Verlander will not make his scheduled start this weekend for the Detroit Tigers due to a left hamstring strain. Initially set to return after a lengthy injury absence, Verlander sustained the strain during a recent bullpen session. The Tigers have struggled recently, particularly with the absence of Tarik Skubal, and Verlander's setback is further disappointment as the team contemplates a potential trade deadline sell-off. Keider Montero will take the mound instead as the Tigers face ongoing roster challenges.
