## Resource

Tarik Skubal is nearing his return to the Detroit Tigers, set to make a rehab start this Sunday with High-A West Michigan after a bone chip removal surgery—thanks to a less invasive procedure that’s sped up his recovery. Originally slated for Triple-A, weather forced the move to High-A, but Skubal’s all about getting back on the mound, aiming for 75-80 pitches and five innings. His swift comeback coincides with the Tigers’ hot streak, and his return fuels team confidence as they push for playoffs. Manager A.J. Hinch is cautiously optimistic this could be Skubal’s only rehab outing. Meanwhile, Casey Mize, Justin Verlander, and closer Kenley Jansen are also progressing, with all set to return soon—giving the Tigers a major boost as they hit the season’s midpoint.
