Tarik Skubal Makes Steady Progress in His Recovery<\/h2>\n\nDETROIT \u2013 Detroit Tigers’ star pitcher Tarik Skubal continues to make remarkable progress in his recovery following his recent arthroscopic elbow surgery. Just two weeks after the intervention, Skubal completed a bullpen session that brings him closer to his usual pitching speed.\n\nThe practice, designed to simulate real game conditions, included breaks between innings and a gradual increase in the speed of their pitches.\n\n\n

There was a speed I wanted to reach today and I achieved it, so it was a good day<\/p>Tarik Skubal<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSkubal explained that his main goal was to show his body and mind that he can throw with greater intensity without limitations. Although he has not yet reached his maximum game speed, the pitcher was optimistic to be “relatively close”, indicating a faster-than-expected progress in his recovery.\n\nTigers manager A. J. Hinch highlighted Skubal’s enthusiasm after the session.\n\n\n

He entered my office excited. There are small obstacles to overcome when you return from a procedure like this<\/p>A. J. Hinch<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSkubal is scheduled for another bullpen session this weekend during the road trip in Baltimore and plans to increase the intensity of his preparation next week.\n\nBefore his official return, the pitcher must participate in a simulated game or a rehabilitation start, ruling out an immediate return to the Major Leagues.\n\nSkubal acknowledged that the speed of his recovery is unusual in baseball.\n\n\n

I want to return as quickly as possible, but I need to come back healthy. There’s no point in rushing and ending up back on the injured list<\/p>Tarik Skubal<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe pitcher will continue to evaluate his progress with the medical staff and coaches, while the Tigers await his return for the second half of the season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
