Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal shares update after injury scare

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal is ready for his next start.

That is significant because Skubal – and everyone else in the Tigers' organization – experienced an injury scare in the seventh inning Wednesday, April 29, in a 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.

The 29-year-old shook his left arm, removed his glove and rubbed his left elbow. He received a visit from manager A.J. Hinch, assistant athletic trainer Kelly Rhoades and catcher Dillon Dingler. He stayed in the game after a practice pitch, then struck out the side to complete his start.

Skubal feels healthy entering Monday's start against the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park.

"I'm all right," Skubal said.
