TIGERS | JUSTIN VERLANDER TO START SATURDAY

BHQ take: Verlander's return could not come too soon, as his rotation replacements have struggled and fifth starter Shane Greene is not providing the expected caliber of performance or quantity of innings expected. Verlander's initial replacement, Kyle Lobstein, is on the DL and has been shut down due to persistent shoulder inflammation. Lobstein's substitute Buck Farmer authored a PQS-0 DISaster in his only start before being returned to the minor leagues. Greene's early knockout in his June 10 start was his third straight PQS-0 DISaster. Verlander's skills have declined in recent seasons, with his IP following suit. His 66 BPV in 2014 was his lowest since 2008, and his 6.9 Dom his lowest since his 2006 rookie season, though he is likely to boost the rotation even without skills recovery. ?Tom Kephart
