TARIK SKUBAL NEWS

Throws live batting practice Skubal (elbow) threw live batting practice Friday at Comerica Park, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Jonathan Schoop was one of the hitters that stood in against Skubal and told reporters that the 26-year-old left-hander looked "nasty." Velocity readings had him reaching 98 mph with his fastball at one point. Skubal is on the road back from August 2022 flexor tendon surgery and could be an option for the Tigers' starting rotation sometime in late June.

Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal to face hitters in Detroit; Casey Mize suffers back soreness Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, arguably the best pitcher in the organization, will throw a live batting practice at Comerica Park.

To throw live BP this week Skubal (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice later this week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact The live BP workout will be a significant step forward for Skubal, who has been limited to bullpen sessions over the last month. Nearing the end of his recovery from flexor tendon surgery last August, the 26-year-old southpaw might be a consideration for the Tigers' rotation by the end of June.

Nearing rehab assignment Skubal (elbow) will throw his seventh bullpen session Saturday since last year's flexor tendon surgery, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Skubal -- who is 11 months removed from surgery -- has been throwing all of his pitches. He should be cleared to face hitters soon and begin a rehab assignment not long after that. A return by late June seems possible.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bullpen session coming Saturday Skubal (elbow) will throw another bullpen session Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Skubal's last bullpen session was Sunday, during which he only threw fastballs. The Tigers still have not set a target date for Skubal's return, but considering he has yet to be cleared to face live hitters, it's possible he stays on the IL beyond his eligible return date of May 29.

Completes 15-pitch side session Skubal (elbow) tossed a 15-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Skubal threw exclusively fastballs during the session, which marked his first time taking part in mound work in nearly nine months after he underwent flexor tendon surgery last August. After opening the season on the 60-day injured list, Skubal won't be eligible to make his 2023 debut until May 29, but the Tigers haven't provided a firm target date for him to be activated. A clearer timeline for his debut could come into focus once he completes several more side sessions and faces live hitters in batting practice before advancing to what will likely be a multi-start minor-league rehab assignment.

To throw bullpen Friday Skubal (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact It will be the first mound work for Skubal since he underwent left flexor tendon surgery last August. The 26-year-old southpaw still has many boxes to check in his rehab, but he could perhaps be an option for the Tigers' starting rotation around early June. He was placed on the 60-day injured list before Opening Day.

Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal scheduled to throw first bullpen in return from surgery Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal posted a 3.52 ERA with 32 walks and 117 strikeouts across 117⅔ innings in 21 starts last season.

Throwing bullpen soon Skubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and will throw a bullpen this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal is playing catch for a week before being schedule to throw his first bullpen since undergoing left flexor tendon surgery. It's a major step forward for the southpaw in his hope to return to the Detroit rotation in the summer months. Because of how much time he's missed, Skubal will likely need to make a handful of rehab appearances on top of completing several bullpens before he's a rotation option.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Playing catch for a week Skubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and is playing catch for a week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Skubal is on the 60-day injured list while dealing with a left elbow sprain. The left-hander will be able to throw -- but not off the mound -- for a week, and the Tigers will determine his next step after. It's likely Subal won't be able to pitch for Detroit until the start of summer.

APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Skubal was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Tigers on Tuesday as he continues his recovery from left flexor tendon surgery.

Impact The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for waiver claim Freddy Pacheco. Skubal has been throwing on flat ground for a while but is expected to miss at least the first couple months of the season.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing fives times weekly Skubal (elbow) is completing his throwing progression and playing catch five times a week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Skubal is still expected to miss the first couple months of the season, but his steady progression bodes well for a return near the start of June. The left-hander was as good as anyone in Detroit's rotation in 2022, producing a 3.52 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 8.9 K/9 over 117.2 innings in 21 starts. He figures to take another step up in 2023 if he can return to full health this summer.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doing flat-ground throwing Skubal (elbow) said Thursday he has advanced to flat-ground throwing, according to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News.

Impact Skubal is currently doing around 40 throws on flat ground four times a week, and the hope is that he can get clearance to return to mound work sometime this spring. The 26-year-old left-hander is already ticketed for a season-opening stint on the IL following flexor tendon surgery last August, but he should be an option again for the Tigers around mid-2023 if there are no setbacks along the way.

Getting in grip-strengthening work Skubal (elbow) has been focused on forearm- and grip-strengthening work at this stage of his rehab program and has yet to resume throwing, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press re...

Impact Skubal is on the mend from the season-ending surgery he underwent Aug. 17 to repair the flexor muscle in his left elbow. The procedure typically doesn't carry as lengthy of a recovery timeline as Tommy John surgery, but it's worth noting that former Tigers pitcher Matthew Boyd had the same flexor tendon surgery Sept. 27 of last year and didn't begin a minor-league rehab assignment until more than 10 months later. Skubal won't necessarily face a similar recovery timeline, but the young left-hander should be expected to open 2023 on the injured list and miss a large chunk of the upcoming season.
