Tarik Skubal Will Need a Minor-League Rehab Assignment
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that left-hander Tarik Skubal (elbow) will need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he comes off the 15-day injured list following surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. "That's not true," Hinch said when responding to a claim that Skubal could be back next week without a rehab assignment. "That's ridiculous." The two-time Cy Young winner had a minimally invasive Nano-Scope procedure on his elbow, which cuts down his recovery time, but Hinch basically shut down any rumors that the talented left-hander would be back in the Tigers' starting rotation by next week. However, Skubal has already thrown a bullpen session and could be ready to start a rehab assignment by next week, so barring a setback, he might be back from the IL in early June. Before having elbow surgery, Skubal was 3-2 with a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 45 strikeouts in 43 1/3 innings across seven starts. He's still one of the best pitchers in baseball and should not have been dropped in any fantasy leagues.
