Overview
- Los Angeles acquired Skubal in an early‑August trade that ended his six‑plus years with the Tigers and sent multiple prospects to Detroit.
- Skubal is scheduled to start Friday at Comerica Park against the Tigers, who are expected to counter with right‑hander Drew Anderson.
- He has a strong season line of 8-7 with a 2.91 ERA and has made four starts for the Dodgers with a 3.38 ERA, including an 11‑strikeout, seven‑inning win.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and teammates say Skubal’s steady temperament and outgoing approach have helped him quickly fit into the clubhouse.
- A short podcast clip in which Skubal said he’d love to stay in Detroit drew social‑media attention, but he says the remark lacked context and that he will not address free agency until after the season.
