    Verlander, 41, is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts amid an injury-filled campaign. He started the year on the IL with right shoulder inflammation, which kept him out until April 19.

    Verlander has amassed a 260-143 career record with a 3.25 ERA across 19 major league seasons with the Detroit Tigers (2005-17), New York Mets (2023) and Astros (2017-22, 2023-24).

    In a corresponding move, the Astros optioned right-hander Seth Martinez to Sugar Land after their loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. Martinez, 29, is 3-2 with a 2.92 ERA and one save in 41 appearances (49⅓ innings) with the Astros this season.
