Tarik Skubal on Track to Start Thursday
Tarik Skubal (side) exited a loss to the Miami Marlins last Friday with pain in his left side. After imaging came back clean over the weekend, Skubal has gotten through the past few days without any problems and remains "penciled in" to start on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians, manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio. In the latest positive step, Skubal threw a "normal bullpen" session on Monday, Hinch said. Barring any unforeseen issues, he should be ready to take on the Guardians, whom he has thrived against this year. Skubal has thrown 16 scoreless, five-hit innings with 23 strikeouts and no walks versus Cleveland in two starts. Overall, the reigning AL Cy Young winner has gone 13-5 with a 2.26 ERA, a .86 WHIP, and 224:28 K:BB in 183 1/3 frames.
