Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Undergoes flexor tendon surgery
Skubal, who has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2022 season, underwent successful flexor tendon surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The 25-year-old was ruled out for the season last week and was set to visit a specialist in Los Angeles, who apparently determined that surgery was necessary. A typical recovery takes nine months, so Skubal is likely to miss significant time to begin the 2023 campaign. The lefty made 21 starts for Detroit this season and finished with a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Done for season, seeing specialist
Skubal is visiting a specialist in Los Angeles on Monday to check on his elbow and isn't on track to return this season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Skubal was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday, which technically left him enough time to return at the tail end of the season, but it's now official that he won't pitch again in 2022. The lefty's initial diagnosis was merely arm fatigue, but a significantly more serious issue appears to be in play. Whether or not his absence will stretch into next season could become clear after Monday's evaluation.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Shifts to 60-day IL
Skubal (arm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
The 25-year-old originally landed on the shelf with arm fatigue after his last start Aug. 1. He can technically be activated in early October, but with only a couple games left on the schedule at that point the move to the 60-day IL will likely end his 2022 campaign. Skubal was able to quickly resume a throwing program after being shut down, but he apparently had some type of a setback over the past week. He came on strong for the Tigers this year with a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Resuming throwing program
Skubal (arm) is scheduled to restart his throwing program within the next couple days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The left-hander landed on the 10-day IL with arm fatigue earlier this week, and it's an encouraging sign he isn't expected to be shut down from throwing for long. Skubal won't be eligible to be reinstated to the active roster until Aug. 17, but it's unclear if he'll be ready at that point. Bryan Garcia was promoted to start Friday against the Rays in Skubal's place.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Heads to IL
The Tigers placed Skubal on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left arm fatigue.
According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, inflammation was detected in Skubal's forearm after he exited Monday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins, but the Tigers characterized his injury differently upon deactivating him. Assuming Skubal is in fact dealing with fatigue rather than any sort of forearm strain or structural damage, he should have a shot at returning from the IL when first eligible Aug. 17. Detroit will first have to replace Skubal's rotation spot Friday against the Rays, with the team likely to either treat the contest as a bullpen day or to call up a spot starter from the minors.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Dealing with forearm inflammation
Skubal was diagnosed with left forearm inflammation Tuesday and is expected to miss at least one turn through Detroit's starting rotation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The left-hander exited Monday's start with left arm fatigue after five scoreless innings, and it now appears he could be headed to the injured list. Skubal has been a bright spot for the Tigers this year with a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:32 K:BB over 117.2 innings, and the team is likely to exercise significant caution since he's dealing with a forearm injury.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Leaves with arm fatigue
Skubal was removed from Monday's 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins with left arm fatigue. He struck out four and allowed three hits and two walks over five shutout frames before exiting the contest.
Skubal shined in a third straight start, but took a no-decision despite exiting with a 2-0 lead before the arm issue cropped up. Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Skubal said after the game that he's planning to make his next start, but that may be contingent on him throwing a bullpen session without discomfort in the next few days. The southpaw tentatively lines up to make his next turn through the rotation Saturday versus the Rays.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Posts another strong outing
Skubal allowed two unearned runs on three hits across six innings but did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 over the Padres. He walked three and struck out two.
Coming out of the All-Star break, Skubal has now tossed 12 innings without allowing an earned run. It's reminiscent of how the lefty looked earlier in the year, and he's lowered his ERA to 3.67 in the process. It remains to be seen if Skubal can keep this up or if he'll run into a rough patch again, but he certainly looks like Detroit's ace at the moment. He'll aim to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Monday against the Twins.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Electric in Thursday's win
Skubal (7-8) allowed one unearned run on two hits across six innings to earn the win in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Athletics. He walked two and struck out nine.
Skubal started the second half of the season with a bang, and it was reminiscent of how he was rolling in the first few months of the year. Perhaps the extra rest helped the lefty, who's now up to 106.2 innings after tossing a career-high 149.1 innings in 2021. It will be interesting to see what Skubal has left in the tank as the season progresses and he potentially eclipses 150 innings, but the 38-55 Tigers will certainly be cautious with the 25-year-old if he shows signs of wearing down. Skubal is tentatively slated to take the hill again Tuesday against the Padres.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Takes loss Wednesday
Skubal (6-8) allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals. He had no walks and struck out five.
Skubal allowed two runs across six innings in his last start five days ago, but Wednesday's outing was more in line with other recent results. The lefty has now allowed four earned runs or more in his five of his last eight starts. During that stretch, Skubal has seen his ERA climb from 2.15 to 4.11. His early-season success seems to be a distant memory, but he'll look to revert back to that form in his next scheduled appearance July 21 against the Athletics following the All-Star break.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Fans seven in victory
Skubal (6-7) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over the White Sox.
After coughing up a two-run shot to Luis Robert in the first inning, Skubal fired five shutout frames with little issue. It was an encouraging start after the 25-year-old had given up at least three runs in each of his previous six starts, registering an unsightly 7.80 ERA during that stretch. He now owns a 3.99 ERA with a 97:25 K:BB through 94.2 innings. Skubal is expected to take the mound in Kansas City next week.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Coughs up five runs
Skubal (5-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one in 4.2 innings to take the loss in Sunday's game against the Royals.
Skubal has been charged with the loss in five consecutive starts, and he's failed to last longer than five innings in any of those appearances. The southpaw had a season-low one strikeout during Sunday's start, and the Royals were able to jump out to an early lead. Over his last five outings, he's posted a 9.00 ERA in 23 innings. Skubal projects to make his next start on the road against the White Sox on Friday.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Inefficient in Tuesday's loss
Skubal (5-6) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Giants.
The Giants struck early with a two-run single by Evan Longoria in the first inning. Skubal put another runner aboard in the fifth, and reliever Wily Peralta couldn't pitch his way out of trouble, allowing a two-run single to Mike Yastrzemski that tacked a third run onto Skubal's line. The four walks were a season high for the southpaw, who has walked multiple batters in four straight starts. He's taken the loss in each of those outings, and his ratios continue to trend in the wrong direction with a 3.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 89:21 K:BB through 84 innings overall. He'll look to end the skid next week at home versus the Guardians.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Struggles again in loss
Skubal (5-5) allowed six runs on six hits across 4.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox. He walked three and struck out five.
Skubal dropped his third straight decision, and the lefty has struggled during this stretch, allowing 15 earned runs across 13.2 innings. It's been quite the reversal for Skubal, who had a stellar 2.33 ERA before the rough patch. His current 3.63 ERA still looks pretty good, though it might not stay below 4.00 for long if he keeps pitching like this. The 25-year-old will look to get back on track in his next scheduled start Tuesday against the Giants.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Rough outing in loss
Skubal (5-4) took a five-inning loss Friday against the Rangers, allowing five runs on eight hits while striking out four and walking two.
Skubal is on a rough stretch in his last three games, allowing a total of 12 earned runs and three home runs, giving him a 4.70 ERA in June. He was a bit inefficient against the Rangers on Friday, throwing 62 of 100 pitches for strikes in five innings. The eight hits on Friday were the most that Skubal has allowed in a game this season. The lefty also allowed the second most runs (5) and threw the second fewest strikeouts (4) of his 2022 campaign thus far. Skubal will look to turn things around in his next appearance, which is projected to be in Boston next week.
