Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander was removed early from Sunday's spring training start against the New York Mets with an apparent injury.
According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, the veteran was expected to throw four innings but left after two despite allowing zero runs and throwing just 28 pitches.
It's unclear if the issue is related to the groin injury that limited him earlier in camp.
Per McTaggart, the pitcher is "being taken for some medical tests."
Despite this setback, Verlander has been durable throughout his career.
