Gives up six runs Saturday Skubal (0-1) gave up six runs on five hits and three walks while fanning three across four innings Saturday against the Indians. He was tagged with the loss.

Impact Skubal delivered a strong performance in his season debut, falling just two out short of posting a quality start, but he was unable to repeat such feat here and didn't even return to the game for the fifth inning. He remains a highly-touted prospect and that means there will be a few ups-and-downs with him this year, and this is an outing he'd probably want to forget as quickly as possible.

Impresses in opener Skubal allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings against Cleveland on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The young lefty was impressive Sunday, yet he fell two outs short of a quality start. The 24-year-old debuted in 2020 and will have a lot of eyes on him moving forward given how highly touted of a prospect he is. Skubal will take the rubber against Cleveland again this upcoming Saturday.

Makes Opening Day roster Tigers manager A.J. Hinch informed Skubal on Wednesday that he will be included on the Opening Day roster, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Hinch hasn't explicitly said that Skubal will open the season in a starting role, the 24-year-old lefty likely would have been optioned to the minors if Detroit didn't have a spot in the rotation open for him. With Spencer Turnbull set to begin the season on the COVID-19 injured list and Michael Fulmer having been shifted to a bullpen role in his last spring appearance, Skubal is expected to be part of a five-man rotation that includes Matthew Boyd, Jose Urena, Casey Mize and Julio Teheran. Skubal posted a 5.63 ERA and gave up nine home runs in just 32 innings in 2020, but his 19.4 K-BB% was an excellent mark for a rookie pitcher.

Allows five hits, walks Tuesday Skubal allowed two earned runs across four innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He gave up five hits and five walks, while striking out three.

Impact This was Skubal's worst outing of the spring, as it's the first time he's given up a run, but at least he was able to limit the damage despite allowing a ton of baserunners. The young lefty has probably done enough to earn a rotation spot, though the Tigers have some decisions to make with pitchers such as Skubal, Casey Mize, Michael Fulmer and Julio Teheran, who are battling for spots behind Matthew Boyd and Spencer Turnbull.

How Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal proved he is ready for the major league rotation Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal struggled to command his fastball, so he made adjustments and dominated the Philadelphia Phillies.

MARCH 18, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Continues impressive spring Skubal pitched three scoreless innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He allowed one hit and three walks, while striking out six.

Impact The three walks were the only blemish for the lefty, as he was otherwise completely locked in across his 70 pitches. Skubal has now tossed eight scoreless innings this spring with 12 strikeouts, and if there was any doubt about him securing a rotation spot to start the season, he's probably put that to rest. The 24-year-old posted a 5.63 ERA and 37 strikeouts across 32 innings in his MLB debut last season, and he could be poised for a step forward in 2021.
