Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has started playing catch and soft tossing, just over a week after elbow surgery. The two-time AL Cy Young Award winner had a procedure on May 6 to remove a loose body in his pitching elbow, which was described as minimally invasive. When the Tigers placed the 29-year-old left-hander on the 15-day injured list in a move effective May 4, the team projected he would miss two to three months.
