San Francisco Giants right-hander Justin Verlander will be placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right pectoral injury, manager Bob Melvin said after Wednesday\'s 8-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
The decision was reached after Verlander threw on the side Wednesday. During the session, it became apparent to Verlander that he wouldn\'t be able to make his scheduled start against the host Washington Nationals on Saturday and might not make his following turn.
