Tarik Skubal will make his Dodger Stadium debut in the series opener against the Kansas City Royals on Monday.
This will be his second start since the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired him from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline.
Skubal made his club debut against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Aug. 4. He gave up four hits, two earned runs, a home runs and two walks while striking out six batters in six innings.

The southpaw starting pitcher is coming off back-to-back American League Cy Young Award seasons with the Tigers.
"We've made some Deadline acquisitions with some top-end guys, but this guy is something special," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Skubal's club debut. "I think there was a lot of anticipation. There's going to be a lot of excitement. I think he's going to be excited to pitch at home at Dodger Stadium in a Dodger uniform. I'm looking forward to it."
This will be the second time Skubal has pitched at Dodger Stadium in his career. He pitched for Detroit against Los Angeles in the Dodgers' 2025 home opener.
Blake Snell Is Returning From the Injured List
The series against the Royals will be an exciting one for the Dodgers. Not only is Skubal making his home stadium debut, but left-hander Blake Snell is returning from the 60-day injured list.
Snell will start on Tuesday.
Snell is also a two-time Cy Young Award winner, and he signed with the Dodgers ahead of the 2025 season. This season, he has only made one start after starting the season on the IL with a shoulder injury. He landed back on the IL after his season debut with loose bodies in his elbow.
