Tarik Skubal to Undergo Elbow Surgery
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (elbow) will undergo surgery for loose bodies in his left elbow, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Skubal was already scratched from his scheduled start against the Boston Red Sox on Monday, and while initial reports indicated that it was a precautionary move and he would be okay, that no longer appears to be the case. Detroit's ace will land on the injured list while he recovers, and Petzold reports there's no timetable for his return. This is a brutal loss for the Tigers, who always have a chance to win whenever Skubal is on the mound. He has been dominant once again this season, posting a stellar 2.16 FIP with 9.35 K/9, 1.25 BB/9, and 0.49 HR/9 across seven starts. The organization has not yet announced who will start in his absence on Monday, but it's worth noting that the Tigers will have an open 26-man roster spot when Skubal is officially placed on the IL.
