Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal described his quick recovery after undergoing NanoScope surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow. The procedure, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache roughly two weeks earlier, has allowed him to resume throwing sooner than expected.
Skubal spoke Monday about the minimal incisions from the surgery, which he said blend in well and are far less noticeable than the scar from his Tommy John surgery a decade ago. He began feeling better the day after the operation and regained full range of motion within three to four days while wearing only an arm sleeve rather than a cast.
