DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers are flipping the order of their starting rotation for the final series before the All-Star break. Ace left-hander Tarik Skubal, who would have normally pitched on Saturday, will now start Friday’s series opener against the Seattle Mariners at 7:10 p.m. at Comerica Park.

Detroit adjusts rotation to keep Skubal ready for second half originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tigers are flipping the script this weekend—and it’s all about keeping their ace right where they want him.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal has been named to the Major League Baseball All-Star game in Atlanta, joining American League starters and teammates Gleyber Torres, Riley Greene, and Javier Báez.
