Summary

The Detroit Tigers plan to reinstate Tarik Skubal from the injured list for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Skubal has been out since April following elbow surgery to remove loose bodies. His return comes as the Tigers have started June strong with a 6-2 record and are hoping to stay competitive as the August trade deadline approaches. Skubal recorded a 2.70 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 43.1 innings pitched prior to his injury, and his presence is crucial for the team's postseason aspirations.
