The Detroit Tigers have signed veteran pitcher Justin Verlander to a one-year, $13 million contract for the 2026 season, reuniting the future Hall of Famer with the franchise where he began his career. The deal includes $2 million in base salary and $11 million deferred starting in 2030. Verlander joins a strong rotation led by Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez as the team aims for a third consecutive postseason appearance.
The Detroit Tigers placed veteran pitcher Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to left hip inflammation. The move is retroactive to Wednesday, making him eligible to return as soon as April 16. Verlander had been set to start Sunday night against the St. Louis Cardinals at Comerica Park.

The Houston Astros are considering bringing back veteran pitcher Justin Verlander for a third stint amid their need for starting pitching depth this offseason. Verlander, who turns 43 in February, had a solid second half with the San Francisco Giants after signing a one-year deal. His past success in Houston makes him an appealing option as the team faces potential losses in their rotation.
