0 4

Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander announced that he will undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2021 season.

In a post to his Instagram, Verlander writes:

“After consulting with several of the best doctors, it has become clear that I need Tommy John surgery.  I was hopeful that I would be able to return to competition in 2020, however, during my simulated game unfortunately the injury worsened. ”

“Obviously I’m extremely disappointed, but I will not let this slow down my aspirations for my career.  I will approach this rehab the only way I know, attack and don’t look back… I’m eager to get through this recovery and back on the field to continue to do what I love.”

Verlander, 37, won his second career Cy Young Award in 2019, going 21-6 with a 2.58 ERA, 0.803 WHIP and 300 strikeouts in 223 innings. His 7.4 WAR matched his career high in 2016.

Over a 16 year career, Verlander has 226 wins with a 3.33 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 3,013 strikeouts. He is set to become a free agent at the end of next season.
