Justin Verlander (lat) said Monday “it would probably take a miracle” for him to be ready by Opening Day.

Fantasy Impact:

Verlander exited Sunday’s start early with an injury which was later diagnosed as a mild lat strain. He is highly unlikely to be ready by Opening Day. Verlander potentially avoided a serious injury, but will be shut down for the time being. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor the situation as he is expected to miss at least the opener.
