Tigers’ Tarik Skubal getting tests after leaving game with possible injury
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, with a 13-4 record and 2.10 ERA, left the game in the fourth inning due to left side tightness and is undergoing medical evaluation.
- On Friday, September 12, 2025, during a game in Miami, Detroit Tigers' ace pitcher Tarik Skubal and shortstop Javier Báez both left the field early due to injuries.
- Skubal exited after experiencing left-side tightness and is under evaluation, while Báez fouled a 90 mph pitch off his forehead near his left eye and was tended to by the team staff.
- Báez left the game quickly but remained strong physically, and Skubal's departure marked his shortest start since 2021 after giving up three runs in two innings.
- Báez has 11 homers and a.257 batting average over 117 games in 2025, his first All-Star season with the Tigers, while Skubal held a 13-4 record with 222 strikeouts before the injury.
- The early loss of two starters in the game raises concerns for the Tigers' performance, though a minor injury to Skubal could lead to resting him the rest of the season.
