X-rays on Skubal's right hand came back negative after he exited Thursday's start against the Rockies, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Skubal was hit on the non-throwing hand by a comebacker in the sixth inning Thursday, though he stayed in the finish the frame. It sounds as through he'll be fine, but he will undergo additional testing to be safe. Skubal yielded just one run on four hits and no walks while limiting the Rockies to one run over six innings in a no-decision. He had thrown just 84 pitches over his six frames, so the lefty might have gone back out for the seventh if not for the hand issue. Skubal is lined up to face the Royals on the road the next time out, as long as his hand continues to check out fine.
