## Resource

Tarik Skubal’s return from elbow surgery is sparking trade buzz as he shows elite stuff and strong underlying metrics—his last four starts are vintage Skubal, with improved strikeout rates, fewer walks, and better pitch location, all while his expected stats and velocity/movement ratings remain near pre-surgery peaks. Despite not being at his absolute peak, his health and performance make him a top-tier asset for any team eyeing a deadline move.
