Skubal Impresses in Rehab as Tigers Chart Rotation Comeback

Detroit’s Tarik Skubal threw five scoreless innings in a High-A rehab start after elbow surgery, signaling a likely return to the Tigers’ rotation. Verlander will make a second rehab start for Triple-A Toledo, while Casey Mize and Kenley Jansen are also nearing returns. With Skubal, Verlander, and Mize on the way back, Detroit may need to juggle three arms in a pitching staff currently led by four healthy starters: Framber Valdez, Jack Flaherty, Keider Montero, and Troy Melton, with a six-man rotation a possibility.
