Return Timelines

Three key MLB arms are navigating different paths back to action. Mets starter Kodai Senga will begin a rehab assignment Friday after being sidelined with lower back pain, targeting a return to the rotation soon. Meanwhile, Tigers ace Tarik Skubal threw his third bullpen session since elbow surgery, with manager A.J. Hinch calling it a "great step," though his timeline remains undefined. On the injury front, Marlins prospect Robby Snelling will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery to repair the UCL in his left elbow, a crushing blow just after his major league debut. The contrast in recovery timelines underscores how varied the road back is for pitchers dealing with arm and back injuries heading into the stretch run.
