Skubal Looks to Bounce Back

Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young winner, hasn’t looked quite like himself to start 2025. Through two starts, he’s posted an 0-2 record with a 5.91 ERA. But with the Tigers’ bats heating up and the bullpen locking things down, Tuesday presents the perfect opportunity for the lefty to get back on track against a Yankees lineup that struggled to capitalize in the opener.
