DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will return to Detroit\u2019s starting lineup Saturday against Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Manager A.J. Hinch made the announcement Thursday, adding that right-hander Casey Mize could return Sunday if he completes another bullpen session later Thursday.<\/p>\n
Skubal, meanwhile, appears ahead of schedule. The Tigers announced in early May that their 29-year-old ace would require arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The procedure, called a NanoNeedle scope, took place nearly five weeks ago. Skubal made one rehab start, allowing two hits over five shutout innings for Detroit\u2019s High-A affiliate.<\/p>\n
Prior to landing on the injured list, Skubal had a 3-2 record with a 2.70 ERA in seven starts. He allowed 35 hits and 13 earned runs over 43.1 innings. He last pitched for the Tigers on April 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
