Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander underwent an MRI Thursday to get another opinion on his injured triceps muscle, according to MLive.com.

The MRI confirmed what the team already knew about the injury, which is that Verlander has a right triceps strain. Trainer Kevin Rand said Verlander remains in a holding pattern.

Verlander has had his last two scheduled throwing sessions pushed back because of soreness in in his arm and hopes to get back on the field to throw at some point this week.
