Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander remains sidelined due to left hip inflammation, which has led to the cancellation of his travel plans to Fenway Park for a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox. Manager A.J. Hinch reassured that the injury is not more severe than initially expected, but Verlander will not progress in his recovery until he feels fully healthy. The 43-year-old veteran was placed on the injured list on April 4, retroactive to April 1, after allowing five runs in his season debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, the Tigers have relied on Keider Montero, who has a 3.31 ERA in three starts, helping the team's rotation rank 10th in MLB with a 3.49 ERA. Verlander has faced injuries for seven consecutive seasons, and currently, there is no timetable for his return. Hinch emphasized the importance of respecting Verlander's recovery process, stating, "We’ve got to respect the soreness and inflammation that he’s dealing with."
