Skubal allowed a hit and a walk while striking out six over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.
The southpaw has now seen short starts in his last two outings, throwing just 49 pitches (34 strikes) Sunday after a 50-pitch appearance Monday. Skubal has been fairly effective, but Detroit is likely to manage the 24-year-old's workload the rest of the way, effectively eliminating his chances of adding to his win total if he continues to start games. He has a 4.21 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 160:46 K:BB through 139 innings. Skubal projects for a rematch in Tampa Bay next weekend.
