'We're concerned about Tarik': Tigers shut down Skubal for rest of the year

Chicago — Apparently there is no such thing as a minor arm injury. Not when that arm is attached to a Tigers pitcher.

Manager AJ Hinch announced before the game Friday that lefty Tarik Skubal was going on the 60-day injured list and would be seeing a specialist in Los Angeles on Monday. His season is over.

“We have had more than our share of issues, that’s for sure,” Hinch said. “This is yet another.”

Skubal pulled himself out of his start in Minnesota on Aug. 1 after five innings, saying his arm felt fatigued after 77 pitches.
