2-Time Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal Is Returning to Tigers' Rotation Against the Guardians
Tarik Skubal allowed no runs in a five-inning rehab start and struck out six, easing concerns after elbow surgery.
- Tigers ace Tarik Skubal will return to the rotation on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians, manager A.J. Hinch announced Thursday morning.
- A specialized NanoNeedle scope procedure performed five weeks ago allowed for a rapid recovery, defying initial projections that sidelined pitchers for two or three months.
- During his High-A West Michigan rehab start last Sunday, Skubal tossed five scoreless innings, striking out six while touching 99 mph.
- Following a slump where they lost 16 of 18 games, Detroit remains 28-40 and sits 5 games out of a wild-card spot despite recent improvements.
- With Skubal becoming a free agent after the season, the Tigers must consider trading him before the Aug. 3 deadline if they cannot reach postseason contention.
