Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander told reporters after Tuesday's start that his thumb started bleeding again but is not concerned about it flaring up. Fantasy owners should not worry about taking him out of the lineup, as he has another start scheduled in Week 5 (April 29-May 5), Sunday against the Astros.
Verlander is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three road starts. The Astros rank 18th in the league in runs scored per game at 4.14.
