Houston Astros RHP Justin Verlander is scheduled to begin a Major League rehab assignment with the Sugar Land Space Cowboys and is projected to start on Saturday, August 10 at Constellation Field.

The three-time Cy Young winner is slated to take the mound for the Space Cowboys in their Saturday night contest against the El Paso Chihuahuas at 7:05 pm. It is the second time Verlander will pitch with the Space Cowboys this season after he started on April 7 versus the Las Vegas Aviators in a Major League rehab appearance, throwing 3.0 innings with one walk and six strikeouts. All Major League rehab assignments are subject to change without notice.

A nine-time MLB All-Star and two-time World Series Champion with the Astros, Verlander is returning from neck discomfort that has sidelined him since June 9. This season with Houston, Verlander is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts, striking out 51 in 57.0 innings of work.

On Saturday, the first 2,000 fans will receive a Justin Verlander Bobblehead presented by Shell Federal Credit Union when gates open at 5:00 pm. It’s also Faith and Family Night presented by Thrivent with pregame worship from Parkway Praise Band. Tickets for Saturday night can be purchased here.

After clinching the First Half Pacific Coast League Title, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys will host the 2024 Pacific Coast League Championship Series starting September 24. Tickets for all three games of the Pacific Coast League Championship Series are available here. Partial season memberships, single-game tickets, ticket plans and group outings are available for the 2024 season at SLSpaceCowboys.com/tickets.
