Tarik Skubal is set to make his first start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, Aug. 4, against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, according to multiple outlets. The left-hander was acquired by the Dodgers as the showcase piece of this year's trade deadline, per reporting from Yahoo Sports and True Blue LA.
Skubal met with reporters Monday at Wrigley Field, one day after the trade and one day before his pitching debut with his new team. "The Dodgers do all the right things," Skubal said of joining Los Angeles, per the reporting from True Blue LA and Yahoo Sports.
Meanwhile, the Tigers appear to have additions to offset their deadline losses. ESPN reported that fantasy baseball players should consider picking up a pair of Tigers after the Skubal trade, though the specific names were not detailed in the available reporting.
