Skubal, the two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner, was placed on the injured list Monday and is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, with a recovery timeline ofĀ roughly twoĀ to three months. The 29-year-old had posted a 2.79 ERA with 45 strikeoutsĀ againstĀ just six walks in 43 1/3 innings before going down.
Then on Tuesday nightĀ there was drama.
Valdez gave up back-to-back home runs to Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu, then hit Trevor Story with a 94-mile per hour fastball on the first pitch of his at-bat, clearing both benches. Valdez insisted itĀ wasnātĀ intentional.Ā TheĀ Red SoxĀ werenātĀ buying it. MLB announced a six-game suspension for Valdez on Wednesday, a huge blow for the Tigers.
Detroitās injuredĀ list alreadyĀ includesĀ CaseyĀ Mize, Justin Verlander, ReeseĀ OlsonĀ and Jackson Jobe. The Tigers sit at 18-19, tied with Cleaveland for first place in the American League Central.Ā TheyĀ finish a three-game series withĀ Boston on Wednesday night at Comerica Park and then head to Kansas City toĀ playĀ the Royals over the weekend.
TorresĀ was hittingĀ .259 with two homeĀ runs thisĀ season.Ā The former Yankee returned to the Tigers this season on a one-year qualifying offer of $22 million afterĀ an All-Star 2025 season.Ā HisĀ return timeline is unclear, though oblique strains historically require more than the minimum 10-day stint.
