Tigers announce Tarik Skubal rehab assignment to High-A West Michigan
Summary

The Detroit Tigers will send pitcher Tarik Skubal on a rehab assignment to High-A West Michigan starting Sunday. Skubal's assignment comes after his recovery from surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. He will face the Dayton Dragons, a team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds, in what marks his first live-game action since the procedure. This development is a significant step toward his return to the Major Leagues, with expectations for him to rejoin the team in the coming month if all goes well.
