Tarik Skubal - Throwing bullpen soonSkubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and will throw a bullpen this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
ImpactSkubal is playing catch for a week before being schedule to throw his first bullpen since undergoing left flexor tendon surgery.
