Justin Verlander is scheduled to begin a Major League rehab with Space Cowboys again
SUGAR LAND, TX – Houston Astros RHP Justin Verlander is scheduled to begin a Major League rehab assignment with the Sugar Land Space Cowboys and is projected to start on Saturday, August 10 at Constellation Field.
The three-time Cy Young winner is slated to take the mound for the Space Cowboys in their Saturday night contest against the El Paso Chihuahuas at 7:05 pm. It is the second time Verlander will pitch with the Space Cowboys this season after he started on April 7 versus the Las Vegas Aviators in a Major League rehab appearance, throwing 3.0 innings with one walk and six strikeouts. All Major League rehab assignments are subject to change without notice.
A nine-time MLB All-Star and two-time World Series Champion with the Astros, Verlander is returning from neck discomfort that has sidelined him since June 9. This season with Houston, Verlander is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts, striking out 51 in 57.0 innings of work.
On Saturday, the first 2,000 fans will receive a Justin Verlander Bobblehead presented by Shell Federal Credit Union when gates open at 5:00 pm. It’s also Faith and Family Night presented by Thrivent with pregame worship from Parkway Praise Band
