The Struggles of Justin Verlander
Justin Verlander, the veteran pitcher for the Houston Astros, has been facing some challenges on the field recently. After missing almost two months due to a neck injury, Verlander returned to the mound only to struggle in his recent performances.
In a recent game against the Angels, Verlander expressed regret about not taking more time to recover from his injury. He acknowledged that his results have not been up to par, but he is determined to push through and continue pitching for his team.
Despite his efforts, Verlander has had a difficult time on the field, giving up multiple hits and runs in his recent starts. Some are even speculating that he may not make the playoff roster for the AL West leaders.
Manager Joe Espada remained hesitant to comment on Verlander’s postseason potential, focusing instead on guiding the team to the playoffs. Verlander himself acknowledged that his performance since returning from the injured list has been subpar and that he is struggling to find his rhythm.
Despite these challenges, Verlander received a warm ovation from the Houston crowd in his last home start of the regular season. He expressed gratitude for the fans’ support and acknowledged that this has been one of the most challenging stretches of his career.
As the regular season comes to a close, Verlander is focused on improving his performance and helping his team in any way he can. While the road ahead may be tough, he remains determined to bounce back and show his worth to the Astros.
