## Resource

How soon could Tarik Skubal be back in action? The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen and cohost Kieran Steckley welcome Will Carroll of Injury Territory to discuss all things Skubal. What exactly is a NanoNeedle? Does it really lead to quicker recovery times? And why doesn't everyone use this new tool? Cody shares perspective from his interview with Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and Will brings insight from his vast knowledge of the field to explain. Later, Cody and Kieran go over the pressure index for which Tigers most need to step up. How badly do the Tigers need heroic efforts from the likes of Kevin McGonigle, Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene and more?
