Tarik Skubal is coming back to Comerica Park next weekend, and he apparently won't be spending the entire series sitting in the visiting dugout.
The former Detroit Tigers ace is expected to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers during their three-game series against Detroit from Aug. 28-30, according to a Thursday report from The Detroit News. Skubal is set to take the mound on Aug. 29 at 1:10 p.m. ET.
That takes what was already going to be an unusual homecoming and turns it into something considerably more interesting.
Skubal was traded to Los Angeles earlier this month in the blockbuster that sent outfielder Zyhir Hope and right-handers River Ryan and Brady Smith to Detroit. MLB confirmed the three-player return when the deal became official on Aug. 2.
Now Tigers hitters are going to have to deal with a problem they spent years watching other teams try to solve.
