Fantasy Impact:
This is a surprise as Verlander had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session off the mound at Minute Maid Park with hitters tracking pitches. Instead, he is facing live hitters earlier than expected. It is a good sign for his progress with a rehab assignment likely starting soon for him.
