Astros general manger James Click said during a recent interview with Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that Justin Verlander (groin) is "right on schedule" and recovering "very well."

Already sidelined with a mild lat strain, Verlander required right groin surgery two weeks ago. The expectation was that the veteran right-hander would need six weeks to recover, but that should still put him in line to pitch for the Astros whenever the season begins, at least assuming the lat still isn't giving him issues. He could end up being a value depending on the timing of your fantasy draft.
