Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander will undergo an MRI Tuesday in Detroit after exiting Monday's start after just one inning with shoulder soreness, the Detroit Free-Press reports.
Verlander said after the start that the issue had been "lingering for a while," but he didn't specify a timeframe on how long he's been pitching with the bum shoulder. The team lost the former Cy Young award winner to injury on the same day they slipped into second place in the division. Verlander owns a 4.76 ERA and 118:55 K:BB ratio in 158 2/3 innings.
