Through six starts, the two-time American League Cy Young Award winner has pitched to a 3.03 ERA. He\u2019s also showcased his command, totaling 43 strikeouts and 8 walks. His 1.18 WHIP is slightly higher than his career average of 1.02, as Skubal has allowed seven or more hits in multiple outings. However, for someone three months removed from an elbow injury, he\u2019s looked very good.<\/p>\n<h4>Adley Rutschman<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"8tUY5M4SSr1RlH4dCiFgyQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2288304774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'8tUY5M4SSr1RlH4dCiFgyQ',sig:'MzDVtGcvRCvMZhVOLIXIZNOjAjUIgLm0zILlGz2eOrU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2288304774',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While Skubal hasn\u2019t missed a beat coming off injury, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rutscad01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-05_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Adley Rutschman<\/strong><\/a> certainly has. In August, the former first overall pick hit .170 with a .500 OPS. He struck out 15 times in as many games, with multiple strikeouts in four of them. In his return to Camden Yards on Thursday, Rutschman homered twice, meaning a return to form could be in store. However, for someone the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/redsox\">Boston Red Sox<\/a> paid top dollar for, the early returns have not been promising.<\/p>\n<h4>Luis Garcia Jr.<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"F2U0EwhxSplVJ1o7n0r3_A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2288962961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'F2U0EwhxSplVJ1o7n0r3_A',sig:'0MkCwf-Uws3RRskR6jllAP0GQKvRXWHpxve_N7dK1xc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2288962961',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/yankees\">New York Yankees<\/a> were in desperate need of offense at the trade deadline, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/garcilu04.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-09-05_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Luis Garcia Jr.<\/strong><\/a> has provided exactly that.

For the lowest-scoring team in all of baseball, Ward has hit .108 with 23 strikeouts and -0.8 WAR in 22 games. His home run woes have also followed him to the Pacific Northwest, as the 28-year-old has yet to leave the yard.
