Tarik Skubal has been scratched from his start.
He has been placed on the injured list.
And he needs surgery.
The 29-year-old left-hander won't start for the Detroit Tigers on Monday, May 4, against the Boston Red Sox in the first of three games in the series at Comerica Park. He is scheduled to undergo surgery for loose bodies in his left elbow.
There isn't a timetable for his return.
He experienced an injury scare in his last start, described as "a funny feeling on the outside of his arm" by manager A.J. Hinch. In that game, he shook his left arm, removed his glove and rubbed his left elbow.
Before Sunday's game, Skubal wasn't worried about the health of his left arm heading into Monday's start.
"I'm all right," Skubal said.
Something changed between then and now.
The Tigers scratched Skubal from Monday's scheduled start against the Red Sox. He has a 2.70 ERA with six walks and 45 strikeouts across 43⅓ innings in seven starts.
It's unclear when he will pitch again.
This story will be updated.
