Two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to have elbow surgery to remove loose
bodies
DETROIT (AP) --- Two-time American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal will
have surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow after being scratched from
Monday's start against the Boston Red Sox.
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters that the left-hander felt pain
in his elbow on Sunday, less than a week after an injury scare against the
Atlanta Braves. The 29-year-old --- set to become a free agent next offseason
--- underwent tests that showed the loose bodies. The surgery hadn't yet been
scheduled.
There is no immediate timetable for his return.
Skubal initially felt pain in his elbow last week against the Braves but stayed
in the game. He rubbed his left arm after a 2-2 pitch to Matt Olson, drawing a
visit from the trainer and Hinch. Skubal threw one warmup pitch, decided he was
OK and struck out the side to end his night.
He allowed five hits, fanned seven and didn't walk anyone.
