The Detroit Tigers are getting into trouble.

Thirty-six games into the MLB regular season and their starting rotation continues to be decimated by injuries.

Six potential starters remain listed on the Injured List, including ace Tarik Skubal. The back-to-back AL Cy Young award recipient landed on the 15-day IL on Monday and is scheduled to have surgery to remove "loose bodies" from his throwing elbow. He endured an injury scare during his start April 29, but remained in the game.

Skubal, whose timeline to return remains uncertain, will have plenty of company during rehabilitation. Also sidelined are Justin Verlander (hip), Casey Mize (abductor strain), Reese Olson (shoulder), (elbow) and (Tommy John surgery).
