""Everything felt good," Skubal told reporters on Tuesday, according to the Detroit Free Press, adding that he threw with maximum effort and "probably worked a little bit harder" than usual without any discomfort. "It's one of those weird things. I don't really know how to explain it. Bullpen went well. Scans came back good. It's on to the next one.""
""The sight of Tarik Skubal throwing off the mound was really awesome," Hinch said on MLB Network Radio. "He threw his normal bullpen. We're going day by day. I'll check in with him today. We'll continue to inch towards his next start. Right now, that's penciled in for Thursday.""
""You want to clinch at home. It's fun to clinch at home in front of your fans," Skubal said. "The only bad part is celebrating in your own clubhouse, because it tends to get a little destroyed.""
Tarik Skubal felt tightness on his left side in the rib cage during his previous start and exited after a 45-pitch fourth inning. He completed a regular bullpen session on Monday, reported no issues, threw at maximum effort, and said scans came back good. Manager A.J. Hinch praised the bullpen and said the team will monitor Skubal day-to-day with his next start penciled in for Thursday. Detroit entered Tuesday with a seven-game magic number to clinch the AL Central. Skubal is 13–5 with a 2.26 ERA and 224 strikeouts and is slated to face Gavin Williams (10–5, 3.16 ERA, 152 strikeouts).
