He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2017 ALCS, finished second in the AL Cy Young voting in 2018 and won it in 2019.\n\nVerlander made one start in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and suffered an elbow injury that eventually led to Tommy John surgery. He missed the entire 2021 season, during which the Astros lost in six games in the World Series to the Braves, but returned to form in ’22 and led the Astros another World Series title. Last year, Verlander led the AL in wins, ERA, WHIP (0.83), opponents’ OPS (.497), opponents’ batting average (.186) and hits per nine innings (5.97).
