Tigers' Verlander To Rest For Playoffs

The Detroit Tigers plan to skip Justin Verlander's start later this week to give the rookie right-hander a break before the playoffs.
"He's tired, so it gives him a little extra time," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday. "I think Verlander is fine. It's a mental thing, more than anything. Everybody has been telling him that this is the most innings he's pitched."
