Tarik Skubal Progressing In His Recovery
2 years agoDetroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal (arm) had flexor tendon surgery on Aug. 17 and continues to progress through the forearm strengthening phase of his rehab program, according to the team. The team hasn't discussed a timetable for Skubal, but a typical return for a pitcher is six to nine months, depending on the extent of the surgery. "I'm going to try to keep it day-by-day," Skubal said in October. "It's just easier that way. It's better for me mentally, too, than to get to a point and be like, 'Well, I'm not back where I'm supposed to be.'" Even if Skubal doesn't have any setbacks this offseason, there's a good chance he won't be ready to begin the 2023 season in Detroit's starting rotation.
