SF Giants set Verlander return date from injured list

San Francisco Giants

Justin Verlander’s next chance for his first win with the Giants is slated for Wednesday night. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is listed as the Giants’ probable pitcher for the middle game of a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park. Verlander, 42, went on the injured list on May 22 with right pectoral tightness. Instead of taking a minor-league rehab assignment, he’ll be stepping back into the rotation, which has a hole after the Giants’ big weekend trade.
