The Tigers hope to have Verlander (groin) make his next scheduled start, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports.
Verlander was sent for an MRI after leaving Sunday's outing with tightness in his groin. Early indications suggest that the injury isn't serious, but there will be more clarity on his status in the lead-up to his next scheduled start. Verlander was tagged for two runs on six hits over 2.0 innings before being pulled by manager Brad Ausmus on Sunday. Coming into Sunday, Verlander had allowed three or more runs in four of his previous five outings.
