- On Thursday, the Detroit Tigers announced a two-day celebration honoring Justin Verlander at Comerica Park on September 25 and 26, featuring games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- Verlander returned to the franchise on a one-year, $13 million deal but spent most of 2026 on the injured list with a hamstring strain, limiting the three-time Cy Young Award winner to one start before announcing his retirement in July.
- Tickets for the weekend series start at $15, with giveaways including a Justin Verlander bobblehead on Friday and a long-sleeved jersey hoodie on Saturday; supplies will be limited.
- Hoping to end his career on the mound, Verlander said, "I'm not trying to go out there and make a fool of myself. But if I'm healthy enough, then I don't see why I can't ."
- Barring an unforeseen turnaround, the Tigers will be eliminated from postseason contention when the celebration arrives, making the weekend a final opportunity for fans to honor his legacy.
