Skubal pitching through post-surgery return after elbow procedure
The Tigers ace had a loose body removed from his pitching elbow in May and has made only six starts since returning in mid-June.
Tarik Skubal underwent surgery on May 6 to remove a loose body from his pitching elbow, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. He returned to a major league mound on June 13 and has posted a 2-3 record with a 3.62 ERA across six starts. His health status is a key factor in any potential trade discussions ahead of the August 3 deadline. The Tigers ace is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
