DETROIT (AP) --- Two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will
return to Detroit's starting lineup Saturday against Cleveland.
Manager A.J. Hinch made the announcement Thursday, adding that right-hander
Casey Mize could return Sunday if he completes another bullpen session later
Thursday.
Skubal, meanwhile, appears ahead of schedule. The Tigers announced in early May
that their 29-year-old ace would require arthroscopic surgery to remove loose
bodies from his left elbow. The procedure, called a NanoNeedle scope, took
place nearly five weeks ago. Skubal made one rehab start, allowing two hits
over five shutout innings for Detroit's High-A affiliate.
Prior to landing on the injured list, Skubal had a 3-2 record with a 2.70 ERA
in seven starts. He allowed 35 hits and 13 earned runs over 43.1 innings. He
last pitched for the Tigers on April 29.
