The Detroit Tigers have officially placed Justin Verlander on the disabled list.

The right-hander hopes Sunday's scheduled appearance is the only start he will have to miss because of a strained right triceps.

"I think it's going to go away, for sure," Verlander said. "It seems like it's been forever and we're only on Day 11 or 12 or something right now, which is not that long for a strain."

Detroit announced last week that Verlander would go on the DL for the first time in his career, but the Tigers did not make the move official until Wednesday.
