Two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will return to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday to start against the Cleveland Guardians.

Manager A.J. Hinch made the announcement Thursday, adding that right-hander Casey Mize could return Sunday if he completes another bullpen session later Thursday.

"We're adding the best pitcher in baseball back to our mix," Hinch told reporters. "It's hard to describe what that boost will be."
