Fantasy Impact
Skubal continues a steady stretch on the mound since returning from injury, allowing two earned runs or less in four of his last six trips to the mound.

Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal pitched five innings of one-run ball, striking out nine and earning the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal didn't go deep into this one, but his nine strikeouts helped elevate his pitch out, as he allowed five hits and two walks on the evening. He threw 62 of his 96 pitches for strikes, as his lone blemish came on a solo homer allowed to Henry Bolte in the top of the third inning. Perhaps it hasn't been vintage Skubal since he returned from the injured list on June 13, but he has allowed just two runs over his last two starts spanning 11 innings while striking out 18 against just a pair of walks in that time. He lines up to pitch the Tigers' final game before the All-Star break at home against the Phillies on Sunday.
Tigers manager A.J Hinch said Tarik Skubal is “tentatively” lined up to pitch Sunday against the Phillies just before All-Star break.
Fantasy Impact
Skubal will start on Tuesday as well. Hinch said it is dependent on how they use Keider Montero during the week.
Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal allowed two runs (one earned) on just one hit and zero walks while striking out nine while earning the win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
This was vintage Skubal on Tuesday in the Bronx, as Skubal's lone earned run allowed came on a Ben Rice solo home run in the bottom of the second inning. That would also account for the lone hit the Yankees got off the two-time reigning Cy Young winner, as he did not issue a free pass while punching out nine. The southpaw fired 61 of his 87 pitches for strikes, pounding the zone against a Yankees lineup that was missing Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm, in addition to the injured Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Skubal will take a 3.15 ERA into his next scheduled start at home against the Athletics on Tuesday.
