Justin Verlander has resumed throwing as he recovers from March groin surgery.

Dusty Baker says that Verlander, who had surgery on March 17, is "doing great" and is throwing as he continues his rehabilitation.

The Houston Astros right-hander dealt with the problem early in spring training.

Now that the start of the season has been delayed because of the coronavirus, it makes it much more likely that Verlander will be ready when the season begins.
