Eligibility
Tarik Skubal was moved to the 60-day IL on Friday to create a 40-man roster spot for Daniel Norris. This move will end Skubal’s season.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal started 21 games this season, compiling a 3.52 ERA, .237 OBA, 8.95 K/9 ratio, and a 2.45 BB/9. The 25-year-old figures to be a key component of the Tigers’ rebuild, so it makes sense to shut him down for the remainder of the season.
Tarik Skubal has been placed on the 15-day IL with left arm fatigue. He also has inflammation in the forearm area.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal was removed from his last start with this same issue, so it isn't surprising to see him land on the IL. He could very well be out longer than 15 days given the inflammation and the likelihood that the Tigers will play it extra cautious with their young starter. He had not given up a run in the last 17 innings before this injury.
Tarik Skubal was removed from Monday's start against the Twins with left arm fatigue.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal was excellent over five scoreless innings, allowing five base-runners and striking out four. "Arm fatigue" is a rather vague description, so hopefully, the Tigers were just being cautious. They should update his status further after the game.
Tarik Skubal allowed two unearned runs on three hits over six innings in a 4-3 win over the Padres on Wednesday. Skubal struck out two and walked three but had to settle for a no-decision.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal has a 25.5% K rate in 2022, so it goes as a bit of a surprise that he only logged two strikeouts in the outing. That being said, the 25-year-old hurler is enjoying a breakout in 2022, posting a 7-8 record, 3.67 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 113 strikeouts over 112 2/3 innings of work. Skubal is lined up to face the Twins on Monday for his next start.
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Detroit Tigers are willing to listen to trade offers for “everyone” including Tarik Skubal.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal has had an inconsistent season on the mound for the Tigers, posting a 3.88 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 111 strikeouts in 19 starts (7-8) on the mound this season. The left-gander would provide any postseason contending club with an immediate upgrade to their starting rotation with the potential to give any trade partner ace-level starts.
