Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal makes progress in rehab after elbow surgery

Detroit Tigers left‑hander Tarik Skubal, who underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery to remove a loose body, has begun bullpen sessions less than two weeks post‑operation. The pitcher said he is not ready to set a specific return date, emphasizing the uncertainty of recovery and his commitment to work hard without rushing.

Skubal reported feeling better than at any point in the season and is throwing in the bullpen without issues, according to the team's updates. The Tigers consider his health crucial for the rotation and the franchise’s future, and his cautious approach is seen as a relief for the organization.
