Justin Verlander unlikely for Sunday start

Justin Verlander's season is getting worse and it hasn't even started. The Tigers hoped he would be ready by Sunday, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Coach Brad Ausmus said, "He threw off the mound and felt great. The last couple pitches were not as great." (Chris McCosky)
Fantasy Impact:
He was not placed on the DL so he is taking up a bench spot if owners haven't dropped him. Kyle Lobstein will be the likely replacement against the Indians on Sunday. It is understandable for Verlander owners to be concerned, and will likely have to wait another week to see if JV will be available any time soon.
