Injuries have stalled what was supposed to be the anticipated matchup between Cy Young pitcher Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, and 23-year-old ace pitcher Payton Tolle of the Boston Red Sox.
Earlier this afternoon, ESPN’s Jeff Passan announced that Skubal was scratched from today’s game against the Red Sox, and would be receiving surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow.
Detroit ace Tarik Skubal will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. Such procedures typically sideline players for 2-3 months. Skubal should return before season’s end, but a tough blow for the impending free agent and two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner.
Now less than three hours away from the first pitch, another announcement regarding a pitching injury has been made. This time, on the Red Sox side of things.

Boston Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo shared on X that relief pitcher Danny Coulombe is set to hit the injury list with cervical spasms, with 29-year-old pitching prospect Alec Gamboa scheduled to take his place.
Danny Coulombe goes to the IL with cervical spasms. Alec Gamboa is active.
Coulombe started off the season strong, but in last seven games the left-handed pitcher has a 7.71 ERA, with only three strikeouts, in 4.2 innings pitched. The 36-year-old has entered his 12th MLB season, and first with the Red Sox.
The lefty set to take his place is Alec Gamboa, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019.
In December, Gamboa signed a minor-league deal with Boston containing a mobility clause that could be triggered if not promoted by May 1. Gamboa decided to exercise the clause, which added him to the Red Sox’s 40-man and 26-man active roster.
Gamboa’s call up is the first for the 29-year-old southpaw. He had been working out of the Triple-A rotation, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 frames for Worcester.

In addition to the bruised pitching staff of the Boston Red Sox, they made an on paper move along with the announcement regarding Danny Coulombe and Alec Gamboa.
Patrick Sandoval to the 60-day IL, which is a paper move.
The Red Sox transferred Sandoval (biceps/elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL while working his way back from the June 2024 internal brace surgery. The left-handed pitcher hit a setback in late April during a rehab assignment.
