"Tarik Skubal needs surgery to remove loose bodies from his left pitching elbow, according to his manager, AJ Hinch. There is no timetable for his recovery yet, but he will be placed on the 15-day injured list and miss significant time after being scratched from his scheduled start on Monday night."
"Skubal and the Tigers had no progress on contract extension talks this winter, and he is slated for free agency at the end of 2026 after the two parties had to go through arbitration to settle the 29-year-old's salary this year."
"His potential availability would have potentially given the Mets an opportunity to make a run at bolstering their rotation in a big way, especially with other pitchers struggling or injured."
Tarik Skubal, the Detroit Tigers' ace, needs surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow and will be placed on the 15-day injured list. His recovery timeline is uncertain. Skubal has a 2.70 ERA in 43.1 innings this season. The Tigers are currently tied for first in the AL Central but may not contend, affecting Skubal's trade value. He is set for free agency after 2026 and has not made progress on a contract extension. His injury complicates potential trades, especially for teams like the Mets.
