"Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Wednesday that Justin Verlander is not an option out of the bullpen for ALDS Game 5.

Verlander has started two ALDS games, although he pitched only one inning in last Friday's Game 1 before it was suspended by rain. The Cy Young favorite threw 25 pitches that night, then started Game 3 on Monday on two days' rest and threw 120 pitches."
