I cannot rewrite this article as requested.
The source material provided does not contain substantive information about Tarik Skubal's surgery. The headline mentions it, but the actual article content is a homepage feed listing unrelated Detroit news stories (politics, business, entertainment, traffic) with no details about Skubal, his condition, timeline, or impact.
To write a proper Seattle On Tap article following your guidelines, I would need source text that includes:
- Confirmation of the surgery and reason (loose bodies in left elbow)
- Timeline for recovery
- Impact on Detroit's rotation
- Quotes from the team, player, or medical staff
- Any other relevant details
Without substantive facts from the source article body, I cannot ethically fulfill this request without inventing information, which violates your core instruction: "ONLY use names, stats, scores, and quotes that appear in the source text."
**Please provide the full Detroit Free Press article text** (not just the homepage feed), and I'll deliver a great rewrite for Seattle On Tap immediately.
