Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings while striking out three.
"I feel good," Verlander said, per MLive.com. "No issues in regard to the injury. That's obviously the most important thing coming away from today."
Verlander has yet to pitch with the Tigers this season due to a triceps injury, but he was able to throw 79 pitches in his rehab debut despite the mediocre results. Manager Brad Ausmus previously said that a decision about Verlander's next step would be made after Sunday's outing.
"I think it's just a matter of how I feel," Verlander said after the outing. "Obviously, your preference isn't to make another one. I want to help the (Tigers) in any way I can."
If he's deemed ready to return, his season debut would likely come against the White Sox in Chicago next weekend.
