Tigers manager Jim Leyland said starting pitcher Justin Verlander will not be skipped in the rotation amid his recent struggles
Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez will complete a bullpen session Thursday that should let Detroit know whether or not he'll need a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Clearly, the Detroit Tigers have some solid relief pitchers. The question is whether they have enough.
Leyland said he cannot put his finger on what the issue is but has a standard procedure the Tigers will go through to help Verlander figure it out.
