Episode Details

Tarik Skubal’s comeback is heating up—he threw four innings in a simulated game, striking out six, with fastball velocity back to normal and competitive fire returning. Manager A.J. Hinch says his reaction to pitches is a strong sign he’s nearing real-game action. Next up? A rehab start with Triple-A Toledo, where he’ll get crucial live-game reps. Skubal feels great, calling post-throw soreness a positive, and praised his sinker and curveball while noting minor fastball command issues late in counts. He also worked fielding drills, including throws to first, vital for his return. If he pitches for Toledo this weekend, he could be back in the Tigers rotation just in time for a pivotal division series against the Guardians—exactly the boost the team needs before the trade deadline.
