Houston righty Justin Verlander is expected to throw another bullpen session Saturday as the three-time Cy Young winner tries to work his way back from neck discomfort that landed him on the injured list a month ago.
Houston manager Joe Espada said Verlander and Luis Garcia are expected to throw before the second game of the Astros\' series in Seattle. The 41-year-old Verlander has been out since June 9 and is expected to throw around 25 pitches. Espada said the hope is that Verlander will be able to increase the intensity during this session.
\"Last time he threw his side he threw all of his pitches, so hopefully there will be more intensity behind these pitches,\" Espada said.
