Tarik Skubal's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was solid against the New York Yankees on Sunday, tossing six innings of one-run ball in a no-decision. Skubal allowed just three hits and struck out five, but his control was a little off as he walked four. The Cy Young favorite hasn't shown any signs of slowing down and now has a 2.49 ERA and 0.93 WHIP on the season to go with 185 strikeouts in 155 IP. The last part of that might be the tricky part for the Tigers, though, as Skubal is at a career-high in innings pitched and the team is not in the running for a wild card spot. Manager AJ Hinch said postgame that Skubal could get extra days of rest from now on, but he also insinuated that they won't put a pitch count limit on him. That is good news for fantasy managers, as fewer overall starts are preferable to shortened outings.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal threw seven innings, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over the Mariners. It was the lefty's seventh quality start in his last eight outings and 17th of the season which ties him for second-most. The 2024 All-Star is having a phenomenal season, posting a 2.57 ERA (lowest among qualified starters), 0.93 WHIP (second), and 171 strikeouts (second) in 143 1/3 innings pitched. He'll get this same Seattle team at home in his next start on Tuesday next week.

The Baltimore Orioles are still engaged in talks with the Detroit Tigers regarding a potential trade of ace left-hander Tarik Skubal according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Nothing is imminent however, Morosi reports. The Orioles are seeking a top-of-the-rotation starter and Skubal would fit the bill although he would likely command a heavy haul coming the other way in a deal. The Orioles have been linked to Skubal through the lead-up to the trade deadline because of their wealth of top prospects like Jackson Holliday, Samuel Basallo, Coby Mayo, and Connor Norby. This will be one of the most interesting developments to monitor as the deadline approaches on Tuesday. Skubal is an AL Cy Young frontrunner with a 12-3 record, 2.35 ERA, and 0.92 WHIP.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal tossed seven innings of two-run ball en route to earning his 12th victory of the season on Saturday. He allowed five hits and two free passes while striking out eight. His one blemish came in the opening frame off a two-run shot by Minnesota third baseman Royce Lewis. The southpaw has gone at least six innings deep in his past six starts and has only allowed more than two earned runs once in this span. Overall, the 27-year-old is near at the top of the current AL Cy Young race as he boasts a 2.35 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 24:154 BB:K ratio. Skubal is on pace to finish as the top pitcher in all fantasy formats this season and should always be considered in DFS, no matter the matchup.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, one of the front-runners in the American League Cy Young race, has become the latest name trending in trade rumors, and according to sources, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles are interested in him. It's unclear where talks stand, but if the Tigers decide to make Skubal available, other teams are expected to enter the mix. Skubal is 11-3 with an AL-low 2.34 ERA in 123 innings and 23 starts. The 27-year-old southpaw is earning $2.65 million in 2024 and is arbitration-eligible for two more years, leaving him under club control through 2026. The more likely scenario is the Tigers trading right-hander Jack Flaherty, an impending free agent this winter. The Dodgers have a big need for starting pitching in the second half as they prepare for a deep postseason run, so it wouldn't surprise anyone if they paid a hefty price for Skubal or Chicago White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet.
