Justin Verlander is nearing his return to the Houston Astros.
Verlander \"felt strong\" during a bullpen session on Sunday, according to manager Joe Espada.
A neck strain has kept Verlander from pitching in the Major Leagues since June 9. He\'s logged just 57 innings this season because of the neck strain and shoulder inflammation that limited him in the spring.
Verlander should now be lined up to take the mound for the Astros this week against the Boston Red Sox.
