Shohei Ohtani greets new Dodgers left‑hander T. Skubal

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a trade that brings left‑handed pitcher T. Skubal from the Detroit Tigers to the team. Within hours of the announcement, Skubal arrived at Dodger Stadium, where he was welcomed by teammates including four‑time MVP Shohei Ohtani and fellow pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The players exchanged smiles and hugs, and manager Dave Roberts greeted the newcomer on the bench during the game.

Skubal, who posted a 7‑5 record with a 2.79 ERA in 16 starts for Detroit last season, is expected to strengthen the Dodgers’ starting rotation as the club pursues a possible third consecutive World Series title.
