Astros' Justin Verlander to Open 2024 MLB Season on IL with Shoulder Injury

Even though Houston Astros star Justin Verlander is making progress in his recovery from a shoulder injury, the three-time AL Cy Young winner won't be ready for the start of the regular season.

Astros manager Joe Espada announced on Tuesday that Verlander will begin the season on the injured list because he won't have enough time to build up his arm for a full workload before Opening Day.
