Tarik Skubal will miss Monday’s start against the Red Sox — and then some.

The Tigers ace will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow, manager A.J. Hinch revealed ahead of the first game of the series in Detroit.

Skubal’s time away could look to be at least two months, though there is no official timetable yet.

Skubal’s last start was a possible indication that something was off with the two-time Cy Young Award winner.

He shook his left arm and rubbed his left elbow during an outing against the Braves last Wednesday. Hinch, assistant athletic trainer Kelly Rhoades and catcher Dillon Dingler visited the mound but Skubal stayed in the game after throwing a practice pitch.

The 29-year-old felt a “funny feeling on the outside of his arm,” Hinch said after Wednesday’s game.

He went on to strike out the side and finish the night with two runs allowed, both earned, and seven strikeouts across seven innings.

Before he was scratched from Monday’s start, Skubal didn’t seem worried about his health, saying “I’m all right.”

This season, two-time All-Star holds a 2.70 ERA with 45 strikeouts across seven starts.

After winning back-to-back American League Cy Youngs, Skubal was highly expected to be in the running again in 2026 — as well as be a potential trade chip after a record $32 million arbitration victory in the offseason.

Before the injury, the baseline was a new deal for Skubal was seen as $400 million, per The Post’s Jon Heyman.
