Verlander Remains Winless in Return to the San Francisco Giants After Injury

On June 18, 2025, Justin Verlander returned from a month-long injury hiatus to start for the San Francisco Giants against the Cleveland Guardians in San Francisco.
Verlander returned to the Giants' active roster following a month-long absence due to soreness in his right pectoral and has resumed his pitching responsibilities.
Despite Verlander's return, the Giants lost 4-2 to Cleveland, stretching their losing streak to four games and marking three losses since acquiring Rafael Devers on Sunday.
Verlander, a 42-year-old right-handed pitcher with 24 career wins against Cleveland, dropped to 0-4 and has yet to secure a victory after 11 starts with the Giants, struggling in part due to limited run support.
Cleveland's victory marked their first time taking a series in San Francisco since two decades ago, while Devers received enthusiastic standing ovations during his debut, suggesting the Giants’ offense may be showing signs of progress.
