Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow to address loose bodies, as announced by manager A.J. Hinch. The surgery follows an incident during his last start against the Atlanta Braves, where Skubal experienced arm discomfort but completed the game, striking out seven batters. The procedure is expected to be straightforward, but typically sidelines players for two to three months, which means Skubal will miss significant time this season. In response to his injury, the Tigers have recalled right-hander Ty Madden and have left-hander Tyler Holton set to serve as the opener for the upcoming games.
