The Detroit Tigers reportedly misdiagnosed a Justin Verlander injury in 2015. Bleacher Report released an interesting piece on the former Tigers ace yesterday. It’s a long but interesting read, it also paints the Tigers trainers in a somewhat unpleasant light. Given JV’s struggles in 2015 it’s not entirely unsurprising.
Justin Verlander credited Kate Upton with saving his career. While plenty of Tigers fans were booing JV off the field, he was struggling with the decline in his career. Verlander suffered from severe depression and navigated out of it with the help of Upton.
