Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander is expected to make his scheduled start Tuesday after coming out of his last start with a blister on his thumb.
"He's dealt with it before," head athletic trainer Kevin Rand told MLB.com. "Basically, it's a crack in the skin just like regular people working outside. Unfortunately, the location of it in the thumb area caused him to not be able to pitch coming out in the eighth inning [Thursday]."
Verlander is 2-2 with a 1.95 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings this year.
