Justin Verlander expressed enthusiasm about returning to the Giants' rotation after a month away due to injury. He noted feeling anxious to pitch again and optimistic about continuing his previous form. While Verlander was sidelined, Kyle Harrison stepped in but was traded to the Red Sox for Rafael Devers. Verlander, recalling his own experiences with significant trades, aimed to bring energy and momentum to the team, drawing parallels to his successful stint after a past trade to the Astros.
It feels exciting, said Verlander before Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. I've been pretty anxious wanting to pitch. I feel like things were starting to trend in the right direction.
I was thinking about (the trade) today. From the other side of it, it's really exciting and provides a lot of energy for the ball club.
