Click bait.. Lot of pitchers - lot of athletes - have bone chips removed from elbows etc., and it really is no big deal. Of course they could have found something worse when they went in and looked (a la Zumaya) but it that were true then the Skubal camp was putting out outright lies, which seems improbable since it will be perfectly obvious when he has trouble coming back. If they were shading on the time line the only audience for that that matters would be the Tiger FO and I'm sure the FO is not taking any action on anything other than an actual surgical report, not some tweet.

I want to believe he comes back and Willis Reed's the season but... the money involved means we should be looking at some shenanigans on the truth.

I want to believe the report because I predicted Skubal would be back by July 1st. 😁

We will learn pretty quickly whether it's a lie ...

Tigers put their update out Friday afternoons. It will probably say he had successful surgery Thursday and is completing rehab daily.

If he returns and shoves...I'll be happiest.  I'm just concerned this is designed to secure ticket sales for the rest of the year or some other financial reason.

Wake me up when he starts to “long toss”

Not really.  It could all be true and he could still be out 2-3 months.

Heyman is a Boras shill.

Doesn't mean it's wrong. I also don't see the business advantage of outrageously lying about it. What's in it for Boras to do so? Skubal gets back when he gets back whether it's four weeks, eight weeks, twelve weeks, or 2027.
