Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander will open the season on the injured list after dealing with right shoulder inflammation during the offseason. Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday the 41-year-old Verlander hasn’t suffered any setbacks but needs more time to become game ready. “He’s doing very well, but we’re just running out of days here, and we won’t be able to build him up enough to start the season,” Espada told reporters.
