(WXYZ) \u2014 Tarik Skubal will likely make his return to the Comerica Park mound next weekend when the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Detroit Tigers.<\/p>\n

Skubal is set to start Saturday for the Dodgers against the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Dodgers using a six-man rotation, that sets up for Skubal to start Saturday afternoon \u2014 Aug. 29 \u2014 against the Detroit Tigers. <\/p>\n

However, even if he has an extra day of rest or has one less day of rest, he’ll still line up to start against Detroit on either Friday or Sunday.<\/p>\n

Detroit traded Skubal to the Dodgers on Aug. 1, and his last start in Detroit was on July 29. <\/p>\n

The two-time American League Cy Young winner has started three games for the Dodgers. In 17 innings pitched, he has a 3.18 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. <\/p>\n

A few days after being traded, Skubal said he would “love to return” to Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Pardon My Take on Friday, Skubal talked about how he was emotional leaving the Tigers’ clubhouse after being traded, crying as he said goodbye.<\/p>\n

“I’m crying in a clubhouse with a bunch of other grown men saying bye to people giving everyone a hug,” he said.<\/p>\n

Skubal said that the Tigers’ season wasn’t supposed to go the way it’s gone so far, and that he thought the Tigers had a World Series team <\/p>\n

“This is the team I’m going to win a world series and beat anybody. You know, doesn’t matter what’s going on,” he said.<\/p>\n

Skubal said that he hopes the Tigers are involved in negotiations in November once the playoffs are done, adding that he would “love to return.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(WXYZ) \u2014 Tarik Skubal will likely make his return to the Comerica Park mound next weekend when the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[14040,5,147,13485,53,2583,4,594,14041],"class_list":["post-784546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-7-action-news-sports","tag-baseball","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-sports","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-mlb","tag-tigers","tag-wxyz-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117133557366334031","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
