The Detroit Tigers got good news Saturday when tests came back clean on left-handed ace Tarik Skubal, manager A.J. Hinch said, according to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News.
Hinch said the Tigers will monitor the progress of the 28-year-old Cy Young candidate, but as of right now, he is expected to make his next start.
Skubal exited Friday's game against the Miami Marlins in the fourth inning with tightness in his left side.
