(AP Photo\/Phil Long)<br \/><strong>CLEVELAND<\/strong> \u2013 Tarik Skubal was tagged for a two-run homer by Cleveland&#8217;s Daniel Schneemann in the two-time reigning Cy Young winner&#8217;s return from elbow surgery and the Guardians downed the Detroit Tigers 3-1 on Saturday.<br \/>Skubal (3-3) threw 80 pitches in his first start since April 29. The left-hander had a loose body removed from his elbow during an <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/nanoneedle-skubal-hellebuyck-00b34d0d90e7d09d9389f99bfa47e5e3\">innovative surgical procedure<\/a> on May 6, allowing Skubal to come back earlier than expected.<br \/>Recommended Videos<br \/>The win came at a steep price for the Guardians as star third baseman <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ramirez-guardians-5c2145101b3d4552cb7738f4319313e6?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share\">Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez suffered a broken bone in his left hand<\/a>. Ram\u00edrez fractured his hamate bone on a swing in the fifth inning. He\u2019ll be out for an indefinite period.<br \/>He gave up Schneemann&#8217;s shot in the third inning and four other hits before being pulled after 4 2\/3 innings. Although he wasn&#8217;t as sharp as usual, Skubal&#8217;s presence alone was a huge lift for the Tigers, who have been decimated by injuries all season.<br \/>Joey Cantillo (5-3) allowed one run in five innings and the Guardians won despite losing Ram\u00edrez and outfielders Chase DeLauter and Angel Martinez to injuries in the first two innings.<br \/>Ram\u00edrez broke his right hamate bone in 2019 and went on the injured list for the only time in his career. He missed just one month after being expected to miss 5-to-7 weeks.<br \/>Cleveland&#8217;s bullpen combined for four shutout innings with Cade Smith getting the last four outs for his MLB-leading 23rd save. The Tigers stranded runners at second and third to end the game.<br \/>DeLauter suffered a bruised right rib cage when he collided with the outfield wall in the first. Martinez fouled Skubal&#8217;s first pitch off his left foot. The team said X-rays were negative and Martinez has a bruise.<br \/>Schneemann, who replaced DeLauter, followed a double by Ram\u00edrez in the third by connecting on a 0-2 pitch for his fifth homer, a 417-foot drive that made it 3-1.<br \/>Up n<br \/>ext<br \/>Tigers RHP Casey Mize (2-3, 2.27ERA) returns from a stint on the injured list to start against Guardians RHP Gavin Williams (9-3, 3.32), 4-0 in his last five starts.<br \/>___<br \/>AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/a><br \/>Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
