Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander (triceps) will not pitch in Friday's spring training game, leaving his status for the start of the season is in jeopardy, per MLive.com.
Manager Brad Ausmus hinted on Tuesday that the 32-year-old right-hander may need to start the season on the disabled list if he's not recovered from his right triceps camp. Verlander threw at 60 percent strength from 60 feet on Wednesday.
Ausmus told reporters that the idea of Verlander making his first start of the regular season on Wednesday seems a "little bit of a stretch" but hasn't been ruled out yet.
