Fantasy Impact
As expected. Verlander is the reigning American League Cy Young winner after putting up a 2.58 ERA with 300 strikeouts in 223 innings a season ago. He has dealt with lat and groin issues so far in 2020 but is ready to go for this abbreviated season. Draft him as a top-five starter in fantasy next week.
