DETROIT -- This is the point where you hear about the periodic updates regarding injuries on the Detroit Tigers. Other than the fact that it's sunny and (relatively) warm out, there's a bunch of small things that you would probably like to hear about. No setbacks so it's nothing groundbreaking, but hey, it's something!
Justin Verlander threw his up-and-down bullpen on Thursday, which simulates game situations to a degree without facing hitters. After a 45-ish-pitch warm-up routine, Verlander sat down, got up for eight warm-ups like he would prior to the start of an inning, then threw a 15-pitch bullpen before sitting back down.
