CHICAGO (AP) — The Houston Astros have placed ace Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list due to neck discomfort.

The move announced Tuesday is retroactive to Sunday.

The 41-year-old right-hander was scratched from last Saturday’s start against Detroit. Astros manager Joe Espada said the three-time Cy Young Award winner had been trying to pitch through it.

Verlander is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA in 10 starts this season. He missed the start of the season due to inflammation in his right shoulder before making his debut on April 19.

Houston recalled right-hander Nick Hernandez from Triple A to fill his spot on the active roster.
