Tarik Skubal's Dodgers Debut Date Revealed After Blockbuster Trade from Tigers Ahead of MLB Deadline

Los Angeles Dodgers fans won't have to wait long to see Tarik Skubal's debut with the team.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told reporters Sunday the southpaw will take the mound for the National League West club for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Los Angeles acquired the star pitcher from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handed pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith.

That means the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner is joining the back-to-back World Series champions in a case of the rich getting richer. Skubal figures to be a problem for the rest of the league as a loaded Dodgers squad chases a third straight championship.

And the Tigers will have to see him up close on his new team at the end of this month when Skubal and the Dodgers visit Detroit for a three-game set from Aug. 28-30.
