ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Justin Verlander will make his second minor league rehab start Thursday night as he eyes a return to the Houston Astros' rotation.
The 41-year-old right-hander went three innings for Triple-A Sugar Land in his first outing Saturday night. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is coming back from neck stiffness that's sidelined him for two months.
Astros manager Joe Espada said before Tuesday night's game at Tampa Bay that he wasn't sure if this would be Verlander's final rehab game, but he didn't rule it out.
