Detroit Tigers ace and two-time defending American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will need surgery for loose bodies in his left elbow, manager A.J. Hinch said Monday.
Hinch told reporters that Skubal will have the procedure after his arm locked up Sunday and that it will be an “easy process and procedure.” He was scheduled to start against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
Hinch did not give a timetable for Skubal’s return, but procedures typically sideline players for two to three months.
The Tigers have recalled Ty Madden, while Tyler Holton will serve as the opener for the second game in a row after pitching two-thirds of an inning in Sunday’s 7-1 victory against the Texas Rangers..
