Tigers' VerHagen hopes shoulder issue is just 'spring training cobwebs'

Lakeland, Fla. – Tigers reliever Drew VerHagen, Friday morning sitting in front of his locker munching on a couple of slices of avocado toast, didn’t seem overly stressed about whatever is going on with his right shoulder.

But then again, there isn’t a whole lot that ever gets the lanky, affable Texan overly stressed.

“I don’t think it should be anything too serious,” he said. “They gave me some anti-inflammatories to cool it down. Hopefully it’s just spring training cobwebs.”

VerHagen, after an out-of-nowhere rocky outing against the Braves Wednesday, told pitching coach Rick Anderson that he didn’t feel right.
