Scoreless rehab appearance Verlander (shoulder) fanned six over 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Verlander got his pitch count up to 69 in the outing and allowed just two hits and one walk. There's no word on what his velocity looked like, but the results were certainly there. It's expected to be the only rehab start Verlander makes, as he's in line to make his Mets debut on May 3 in Detroit against his former team.

Only doing one rehab start? Verlander (shoulder) said Tuesday that he expects to join the Mets after just one minor-league rehab start, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Impact That rehab start is scheduled to take place Friday, which would then put Verlander on track to make his Mets debut next week in Detroit -- likely Wednesday. The veteran right-hander has been on the shelf since the end of spring training because of a low-grade teres major strain, but he's checked all the necessary boxes so far in his recovery. Even at age 40 and coming off this recent shoulder scare, Verlander projects for ace-like production the rest of the way here in 2023.

Tosses 43 pitches in sim game Verlander (shoulder) threw 43 pitches over three innings during a simulated game Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Verlander resumed throwing bullpen sessions in mid-April and has moved to a five-day schedule as he closes in on a return from the injured list. Following Sunday's simulated game, he expects to pitch in a minor-league rehab start Friday as his next appearance, which puts him on track to rejoin the Mets around the first week of May.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moving to five-day schedule Verlander (shoulder) is expected to throw a live batting practice session Sunday ahead of a minor-league rehab start next Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moving to a five-day throwing schedule is a strong sign the 2022 AL Cy Young Award winner is closing in on activation from the injured list. If he needs only one rehab start, the veteran right-hander figures to make his Mets debut in early May, and the team could certainly use him after Carlos Carrasco (elbow) joined Verlander and Jose Quintana (ribs) on the shelf Tuesday. Joey Lucchesi appears to be the most likely candidate to plug the hole in the team's rotation until Verlander is ready.
