Impact: The callus has been around for most of the season, but based on Verlander's results, it doesn't appear to be bothering his performance. He will continue to take precautions to avoid flare-ups, and Verlander has already said the issue won't stop him from taking the mound. "Even if it blows up, it's not going to stop me from pitching"" he said. "I'll figure out a way -- I'll just throw all changeups and breaking balls." Owners don't have much to worry about here.
