Well, this isn't a good look for the Detroit Tigers.
Justin Verlander claims the Tigers' training staff misdiagnosed him with a triceps injury late in spring training in 2015.
He also questioned why they didn't immediately order an MRI.
“I knew something was wrong,” Verlander says in a lengthy and fascinating profile by Bleacher Report. “They take me out and misdiagnose me. … Didn’t get an MRI. Because it was so mild.”
Verlander had core-muscle surgery in January 2014, then went on to have a terrible 2014 regular season in which his velocity was down, he allowed more earned runs than any pitcher in the league and experts were beginning to speculate that his career was coming to an end.
