Tarik Skubal Prepares for Emotional Return to Detroit
Tarik Skubal is scheduled to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, marking his return to Detroit only four weeks after his trade.
Skubal expressed that while he aims to focus on his current team, he anticipates feeling emotional due to his history with the Tigers, where he made his major league debut in 2020. This season, he has a record of 8-7 with a 2.91 ERA, and since joining the Dodgers, he has a 1-2 record with a 3.38 ERA.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes Skubal possesses the right mindset to manage his emotions during this homecoming. Skubal is expected to face Tigers pitcher Drew Anderson in the first game of the three-game series.
