Detroit's ace is back after a month away, clearing the path for a potential mid-season trade.
Tarik Skubal is set to return Saturday after undergoing surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow, per the Tigers. The 29-year-old left-hander missed roughly one month and was 3-2, 2.70 ERA with 43.1 innings and 45 strikeouts before the procedure.
Skubal's quick return solidifies him as a healthy trade candidate heading into the deadline. Detroit has no clear contention timeline, and a front-line starter with one year of control remaining historically draws significant interest in July.
