Tarik Skubal Starts Throwing Progression

Tarik Skubal, the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner, underwent arthroscopic surgery on May 6 to remove loose bodies from his left elbow and has already begun playing catch, as reported by Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. While recovery timelines remain uncertain, Skubal’s early progress with the less invasive Nanoscope procedure is encouraging. The Tigers aim to avoid rushing his return, considering his free agency this winter and the potential impact on his contract prospects. Despite a challenging season, Detroit remains hopeful for a playoff berth if they can manage until Skubal and other injured players return.
