TARIK SKUBAL NEWS

Activated for season debut Skubal (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Skubal is set to make his season debut for the Tigers on Tuesday against the Athletics after completing the long rehab from last August's flexor tendon surgery. The left-hander isn't totally stretched out yet, having gone just four innings in his last rehab starts. He was terrific on his rehab assignment, though, leaving Skubal as a solid fantasy play in a favorable matchup even though he'll have workload restrictions.

Returning Tuesday Skubal (elbow) will start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Skubal will make his first start in the majors since Aug. 1, 2022, and has been sidelined after undergoing flexor tendon surgery. He has pitched well during his rehab assignment, most recently working four innings with Triple-A Toledo. Given that, he shouldn't be in line for significant workload restrictions, and he'll also get a favorable matchup against Oakland.

Next start expected to be in majors Skubal's (elbow) next start is expected to be with the Tigers, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal has been electric on his rehab assignment, holding a 1.23 ERA and 20:3 K:BB over 14.2 innings covering five starts. He will throw a bullpen session over the weekend and, assuming he gets through that with no issues, could make his season debut with the big club as soon as Tuesday at home versus the Athletics. It would be his first outing in the majors since last August's flexor tendon surgery. Skubal didn't go more than four frames in any rehab start, so he will be pretty limited from a workload perspective initially. However, with what shapes up to be two starts in his first week back and one of those outings slated to come against Oakland, he might be work using in fantasy leagues, anyway.

Next rehab start on Wednesday Skubal (elbow) will make his next rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Wednesday will mark Skubal's fifth minor-league rehab start since beginning his assignment June 4. He's given up three runs (two earned) while striking out 16 batters across 10.2 innings between High-A and Triple-A. If Wednesday's start ends up being Skubal's final appearance in the minors, he would be lined up to return to Detroit's rotation July 4 versus Oakland.

Needs another rehab start Skubal (elbow) will make another rehab start in the middle of next week for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact He tossed 52 pitches (32 strikes, eight swinging strikes) this week in his fourth rehab start, so it's possible his next rehab outing could be his final tuneup before joining the big-league rotation. Given the Mud Hens' schedule, Skubal's next rehab start will likely come Wednesday, which could set him up to come off the injured list July 4 at home against Oakland.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses 52 pitches in rehab outing Skubal (elbow) worked 2.2 innings in his latest rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, striking out four while allowing two earned runs on two hits and one walk.

Impact Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment and his second with Toledo, Skubal built up to 52 pitches (32 strikes, eight swinging strikes) and sported a fastball that averaged 95.9 miles per hour, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Given the workload he handled Wednesday, the Tigers may want to have Skubal make at least one more start in the minors to get further stretched out before he makes his long-awaited return from the 60-day injured list.

Next rehab start comes Wednesday Skubal (elbow) will make his next rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Skubal fired three scoreless innings with five strikeouts Thursday for Toledo in his last rehab start. If the southpaw pitched well in that outing, his next start after could be as a member of the Tigers' rotation, but there's no set timetable yet for Skubal's return.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Works three innings Skubal (elbow) threw three scoreless innings and allowed only one hit while striking out five in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Impact Skubal made his first appearance with Toledo and averaged 95.9 mph with his fastball. He threw 31 total pitches, so he'll likely need at least one more rehab start before rejoining the Tigers' rotation. Skubal threw 118.2 innings in 2022 before going down, so he should be able to take regular turns as a starter for the rest of the season assuming his arm remains healthy.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rehabbing at Triple-A Skubal's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal made two appearances with High-A West Michigan, throwing five scoreless innings while striking out seven batters and yielding three hits. Skubal's next start will come on Thursday in Toledo, and he remains on track to return to Detroit before the end of June.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Excels in second rehab start Skubal (elbow) struck out six and allowed one unearned run on two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings in his rehab start Friday with High-A West Michigan.

Impact Skubal, who is rebounding from the flexor tendon surgery he underwent last August, has looked sharp through his first two outings with West Michigan, as he has yet to allow an earned run in seven innings. He built up to 47 pitches Friday and will likely require two or three more rehab starts before Detroit brings him back from the 60-day injured list. Though some rustiness is to be expected once Skubal eventually makes his way back to the Tigers rotation, he still makes for a decent pitcher to stash in deeper mixed leagues, given that he's coming off a season in which he turned in a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes first rehab start Skubal (elbow) covered two innings Sunday in his rehab start for High-A West Michigan, striking out one while allowing one hit and no walks.

Impact The lefty needed just 12 pitches (10 strikes) to record his six outs. Considering that Skubal's appearance Sunday was his first in affiliated ball since Aug. 1, 2022 after a long recovery from flexor tendon surgery, he'll likely need to build up to around 5-to-6 innings and/or 75-to-90 pitches on his rehab assignment over the course of around 3-to-4 more rehab starts before he's ready to rejoin the Detroit rotation. In any case, Skubal is the only pitcher among the seven currently residing on Detroit's injured list that's on an active rehab assignment, so he may still be first in line for a return, likely at some point in late June.

Impact Coming up on a year since undergoing flexor tendon surgery on his left elbow, Skubal is set to return to game action after completing another bullpen session Thursday. He will likely require 4-to-5 starts in the minors as he builds his arm up, putting his estimated return date sometime in late June.

Impact Skubal has reportedly been impressive in facing live hitters and is about ready to commence with a rehab assignment.
