Skubal Rebounded After May Elbow Scope, Posting 2.70 ERA Post-Surgery
The Dodgers lefty had a bone spur removed via a new minimally invasive procedure and returned quickly, though he had some shaky outings early in his comeback.
Tarik Skubal had an elbow scope in May 2026 to address a bone spur, undergoing a procedure described as a 'Nano-Needle' technique. He returned relatively quickly but experienced some inconsistent outings initially. Since settling in post-surgery, Skubal has compiled a 2.70 ERA, matching his pre-injury performance level. The injury and recovery will cost him a shot at a third consecutive AL Cy Young Award.
