## Resource

Tarik Skubal, Detroit Tigers star pitcher, has resumed his throwing program just eight days post-elbow surgery. Initially expected to be sidelined for three months, Skubals early return to light tossing is a positive sign for his recovery. He is currently playing catch daily, with the coaching staff closely monitoring his progress. Skubals grit was evident in his final start before the injury, where he struck out the side despite discomfort. His pre-injury stats were impressive, with a 3-2 record, 2.70 ERA, 45 strikeouts, and only 6 walks in 43.1 innings. The Tigers are taking a cautious approach, with Skubals health crucial for both him and the organization, given his $32 million salary and impending free agency.
