Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal had a strong outing against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Skubal pitched 6 2/3 innings and allowed six hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out seven. Unfortunately, he was out-dueled by Angels starter Shohei Ohtani and he wound up with the loss for the game, dropping his record to 8-11 on the year. Skubal has been fantastic so far in August. Through three starts this month, he's pitched 17.2 innings while allowing just two earned runs on 16 hits and two walks. He'll look to keep this hot streak going in his next trip to the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals next Wednesday.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal earned his eighth win of the year after a stellar outing against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

He has started off the month of August by pitching 11 scoreless innings. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch announced on Wednesday that most of the team's starters - including Skubal - would get an extra day of rest going forward. That'll be a big hit to Skubal's fantasy value. He likely won't pitch again until next Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. He's still worth a roster spot in a lot of deep leagues and AL-only leagues, but the extended rest will make him a potential drop candidate going forward, especially if he starts to struggle.
