Justin Verlander’s (neck) progress “is slower than we expected,” per manager Joe Espada. (Chandler Rome on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Verlander is dealing with neck discomfort and was scratched from his most recent start. The plan was for the veteran to return Thursday against the White Sox, but the Astros’ starter is still considered TBA. He will likely be placed on the IL if he is not available to pitch Thursday.
