The Detroit Tigers are closing in on their first division championship since 2014. They still need to pick up some wins in this series against the Miami Marlins, however, to achieve that feat. However, fans are currently more concerned with the status of ace pitcher Tarik Skubal.
Skubal took the mound on Friday to open the series in Miami. Unfortunately, he was pulled in the fourth inning after a consultation between him, manager AJ Hinch, and a trainer. It’s unclear what the injury is at this time. However, Tigers beat reporter Cody Stavenhagen did notice Skubal grabbing toward his left side after throwing a pitch.
This is a developing story. More to come.
