Detroit ā The medical updates are unrelenting with the Tigers these days. At least on Tuesday, there were some encouraging developments.
Start with lefty ace Tarik Skubal.
Manager AJ Hinch announced that the two-time Cy Young winner has surgery scheduled Wednesday to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. Hinch, out of respect for Skubalās privacy, didnāt say which surgeon would be doing the surgery.
āI want to get this done as soon as possible so I can get back and help this team as soon as possible,ā Skubal said on Monday when it was announced that he was going on the injured list and the surgery would be needed.
ā¶ Gleyber Torres: It qualifies as a positive that the Tigersā second baseman was not put on the injured list. Heās still dealing with soreness in his left side and he was held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game, but he is inching closer to being cleared.
āFeeling better,ā Torres said. āBeen doing therapy, trying to get ready. Iām still feeling it a little bit.ā
He did defensive drills on Monday and took batting practice Tuesday. He was hopeful he could be available to pinch-hit if needed.
āStill not quite ready to give him a full work day,ā Hinch said. āRight now Iād rather play the fully healthy (Hao-Yu) Lee with the ball-in-play with Framber Valdez pitching over risking too much with Gleyber. We hope he is ready to go as early as tomorrow.ā
Torres banged his left hip on a slide and tumble at home plate Saturday.
āThe good part is, the MRI didnāt show anything,ā Torres said. āI think thereās a bruise inside there. I am trying to do everything possible to be on the field.ā
ā¶ Justin Verlander: He is scheduled to throw another bullpen before the game Wednesday. Hinch said the next step will be to face hitters in simulated games during the upcoming trip to and New York.

Verlander, out with hip inflammation since early April, has been itching to test himself against hitters. Heās also hopeful of being able to build up his pitch-count without having to make rehab starts at Triple-A.
The latter seems doubtful.
āI donāt know,ā Hinch said. āHeās been out a long time. We need to make sure heās fully ready. I donāt think (facing hitters) will be his only test. I donāt want to promise anything or deny anything. But I expect him to do multiple things before heās back and pitching competitively in the big leagues.ā
ā¶ Casey Mize: Heās been playing catch and taking treatment on his strained right groin, but he hasnāt yet thrown off a mound.
ā¶ Will Vest: Out with forearm inflammation, heās yet to resume his throwing program. He was sent for further medial evaluation.
ā¶ Connor Seabold: Out with left ankle inflammation, he threw a bullpen Tuesday.
ā¶ Beau Brieske: Out all season with a left adductor strain, he was scheduled to make his first rehab outing Tuesday at Low-A Lakeland.
ā¶ Troy Melton: Out since early spring with elbow inflammation, he is scheduled to make his second rehab start Friday at Lakeland.
