Skubal Regrets Skipping Elbow MRI, Flags Lingering Concern
The Tigers ace revealed he knew something was wrong with his elbow last January but chose not to get an MRI, a decision he now says he regrets.
Tarik Skubal disclosed that he felt elbow discomfort as early as January but opted against an MRI at the time. He later required a procedure for loose bodies in May and missed approximately six weeks. Skubal publicly stated he regrets not addressing the issue sooner. His elbow status is expected to remain a central storyline through the offseason as he approaches free agency.
