Tarik Skubal Nears Return Amid Intensifying Trade Speculation

Tarik Skubal is nearing a return to the Tigers' rotation following a dominant rehab start for Single-A West Michigan, where he threw five scoreless innings with six strikeouts on 54 pitches. While his recovery from surgery provides a major boost to Detroit's pitching staff, he remains the subject of significant trade speculation. The organization faces pressure to decide whether to keep or trade their ace as they evaluate blockbuster proposals.
