KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After completing his eighth bullpen, Tarik Skubal wasn't sure if the Detroit Tigers would allow him to reveal how many pitches he threw Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium.
"I don't know if I'm supposed to say that," Skubal said.
Skubal, rehabbing from left flexor tendon surgery, deferred to manager A.J. Hinch for the pitch-count inquiry, but the 26-year-old put a lighthearted spin on the Tigers' continued secrecy about his workload in his throwing progression.
"More than a few but not a ton," Skubal said, laughing.
"You can put my name by that quote," Hinch said, when he heard about Skubal's response.
