Verlander was removed in the third inning of his start Sunday against the White Sox due to right groin tightness.
The Tigers labeled Verlander's removal as precautionary and the right-hander didn't look to be in much pain when he left the game, so if he's able to toss a bullpen session in the coming days without any complications, he should be good to go for his next scheduled start Friday against the Red Sox. Even if Verlander had been able to shake off the groin issue and remain in the game Sunday, he may have only hurt fantasy owners, as he clearly wasn't himself on the mound. He needed 72 pitches to record six outs, giving up two runs on six hits and three walks along the way.
