About this episode

The episode discusses Tarik Skubal's upcoming surgery and its implications for the Detroit Tigers' playoff chances.

Tarik Skubal, the Detroit Tigers ace pitcher, is set for a minimally invasive surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The procedure, if successful, could have him back on the mound by late August. Recovery involves physical therapy and strength training, with a potential return in early to late August. However, the loose bodies indicate wear and tear, and Skubals long-term prognosis is uncertain. The Tigers must now rely on their depth and patience as they hold their standings.
