Tarik Skubal to Undergo Elbow Surgery; Placed on 15-Day Injured List

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow and has been placed on the 15-day IL. Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed the procedure is not Tommy John surgery, but Skubal is expected to miss multiple months, significantly impacting his AL Cy Young prospects and future free agency value. The injury forced a late scratch from his scheduled Monday start against the Red Sox as he enters his final year of team control before hitting free agency.
