SI:AM | Two High-Profile Debuts in MLB

DAN GARTLAND

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. Let’s take a look at two players who had solid debuts in new uniforms last night. I’ll spare Freddy Peralta the embarrassment of closely examining his disastrous first start with the Rays. (Although Tampa Bay came back to win in 11 innings.)

In today’s SI:AM:

Skubal’s first start in Dodger blue

Don’t worry, everyone. MLB’s labor crisis is fixed. All that handwringing about how the Dodgers’ trade for Tarik Skubal will lead to a protracted lockout as owners dig in their heels to fight for a salary cap in the name of “competitive balance” can stop.

Skubal made his first start with his new team last night, and the Dodgers lost. So much for him making Los Angeles so utterly unstoppable that it requires upending the game’s economic system.

Skubal allowed two runs on four hits with six strikeouts and two walks in six innings of work against the Cubs in Chicago. (It was also his first appearance at Wrigley Field.) Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ offense was held in check in the 5–1 loss. Their only run came on a solo homer by former Cub Kyle Tucker in the second inning. After Chicago starter Javier Assad was pulled from the game with two outs in the sixth, four Cubs relievers held the Dodgers without a hit the rest of the way.

Though the Dodgers lost, Skubal was pleased with how he pitched.

“I think my stuff was plenty good,” he told reporters. “I felt like I commanded everything really well. When I was missing, I was missing in the areas that I was trying to go.”

The loss was the Dodgers’ fifth in a row after they lost the series opener in Chicago on Monday and were swept by the Red Sox over the weekend. That’s their longest losing streak of the season. They’ve been outscored 35–16 over that span. It’s just the second time in the past six seasons that they’ve had a five-game losing streak in which they’ve been outscored by at least 19 runs.

Despite the losing streak, the Dodgers are still well on their way to a fifth straight NL West title. They currently hold a nine-game lead over the second-place Diamondbacks. The primary race is with the Brewers and Braves for the best record in the NL and home field advantage in the playoffs. Milwaukee will come to Dodger Stadium for a four-game set later this month that could loom large come October.

Yankees rookie impresses in MLB debut

Vincent Carchietta/Imagn Images

The other notable debut on Tuesday nightbelonged to Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr.

Lombard, the son of former MLB outfielder George Lombard, went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk in the Yankees’ 2–0 win over the Cardinals in his first big league game. He also flashed some impressive defense at shortstop, highlighted by a great off-balance throw to start a double play in the second inning. He made another tricky play in the fourth and again in the fifth.

“You see how fluid he is out there, how physical he is,” manager Aaron Boone said of Lombard. “The ease with which he makes plays, it’s kind of what I’ve marveled at the last two springs being around him.”

Lombard, 21, is the No. 1 prospect in the Yankees’ system. He was the team’s first-round pick in the 2023 draft and was quickly promoted to Triple A earlier this season after a strong start to the year at Double A.

Shortstop has been a question mark for the Yankees all season. Utilityman José Caballero has started the majority of games at short, but he lacks the defensive ability to make that his permanent home. Anthony Volpe, who had started there for each of the previous three seasons, began the year on the injured list and has been disappointing both at the plate and in the field. Volpe was sent down to Triple A when Lombard was promoted.

Lombard’s promotion raises interesting questions for how Boone will fill out his lineup card. Caballero was not in the lineup last night, with Boone choosing to keep Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan McMahon at their usual spots at second and third, respectively. McMahon has been among the team’s worst hitters (only catcher Austin Wells has a worse OPS among Yankees regulars) and would seem to be the obvious candidate for a demotion. Caballero does have experience at third base, as does Chisholm, if Boone chooses to put Caballero at second.

Lombard won’t be an All-Star-caliber player right away, but he at least provides some excitement for a Yankees team that has been running on fumes since Cody Bellinger joined Aaron Judge on the injured list.

👀 The top five …

… things I saw last night:

5. Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth’s glove flip to get the out at second.

4. Braves catcher Drake Baldwin’s throw to catch a runner at third for the final out of Atlanta’s win over the Marlins.

3. An incredible moment for George Lombard Jr.’s family: Lombard’s younger brother, Jacob, hit a home run in his first professional game since being drafted in the first round by the Marlins. George and Jacob’s parents watched the play while sitting in the stands at Yankee Stadium and went nuts.

2. An impressively creative play by Mariners minor leaguer Jhonathan Díaz. Díaz, a left-handed pitcher, fielded a ball with his right hand and made an accurate throw to firstbecause it was easier than turning his body to field it with his left.

1. Another brilliant goal for FC Cincinnati star Evander. That’s the third time in the past week that I’ve featured a spectacular goal of his in this newsletter.

What’s going on with Paul Skenes?

Wednesday, August 05

View Online

Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition is brought to you by David Adler.

We never thought we’d be asking this question, but here we are: What’s wrong with Paul Skenes?

The reigning National League Cy Young winner is simply having a very un-Paul-Skenes-like season. And we want to get to the bottom of it.

Now, Skenes is so good that something “wrong” with him means he’s still the seventh-most valuable pitcher in the Majors by FanGraphs’ Wins Above Replacement. But 2024-25 Skenes set such a lofty standard that we can’t just ignore the difference.

Skenes enters tonight’s start against the division-rival Brewers (7:40 p.m. ET on ESPN) with an ERA nearly two runs higher than it was in either of his first two years in the big leagues. He’s at 3.90 in 2026 — including a 5.18 mark over his last 14 starts — after posting a 1.96 ERA as a rookie in 2024 and a 1.97 ERA en route to the Cy in 2025.

Somehow, the Pirates have managed to stay in the NL Wild Card race even without their ace pitching his best. So today, Travis Sawchik took a deep dive into Skenes’ numbers to try to diagnose what’s going on.

Here are three factors he highlights:

1) The velocity dip

Skenes’ fastball velocity has dipped from 98.8 mph in 2024 to 98.2 mph in 2025 to 96.9 mph in 2026. While Skenes has downplayed the impact of that dropoff, velocity does matter. Losing it can have a ripple effect across a pitcher’s arsenal — Skenes’ stuff has graded out significantly worse than usual this season.

2) Less efficiency

Skenes is a workhorse, but he’s gotten slightly less efficient compared to the last two years. He’s not locating his pitches in the strike zone as often (down from 51% to 46%), and that leads to not going as deep into games. Skenes is averaging fewer innings per start than he did in 2024 and ’25.

3) Bad luck

Based just on his strikeouts, walks and quality of contact allowed, Skenes deserves to have better numbers than he does. His expected ERA is 2.93, almost a full run lower than his actual ERA and one of the best marks among starters. If Skenes’ real ERA were 2.93 right now, no one would be worrying about him.

At the end of all this, there’s one more question Sawchik tries to answer: Can the elite version of Skenes return down the stretch?

GAMES OF THE NIGHT

Besides Skenes vs. the Brew Crew, here are two more games to watch tonight.

White Sox at Red Sox (7:10 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)

The battle of the Sox continues at Fenway. The Red Sox have won six games in a row after taking yesterday’s series opener with a four-homer, 14-run barrage that moved them to a season-high 10 games over .500. And there’s no one better to try to make it seven in a row than Sonny Gray, who leads the AL with 13 wins this season.

Padres at D-backs (9:40 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)

Casey Mize makes his Padres debut after San Diego got him from the Tigers on Monday in a Trade Deadline buzzer-beater. Mize, who was a first-time All-Star last season, has arguably been even better this year, with a 2.70 ERA in his 16 starts and 85 strikeouts in 86 2/3 innings.

THE PHILLIES ARE BATTING WHO CLEANUP?

The Phillies have the National League home run leader (Kyle Schwarber, with 33). The Phillies now also have the National League batting leader (Luis Arraez, with a .325 average).

One of those players bats leadoff. One of those players bats cleanup. Can you guess which is which?

Kyle Schwarber's hitting metrics vs. Luis Arraez's

You guessed it — Schwarber, the masher, the two-time home run king, is the Phillies’ leadoff man. Arraez, the slap-hitter, the three-time batting champion, is the Phillies’ cleanup hitter.

Arraez’s Phillies debut yesterday, after he arrived from the Giants at the Trade Deadline, made for a fun lesson in modern MLB lineup construction. The contact hitter does not simply bat at the top of the order to set the table for the power hitters in the middle. Those stereotypical roles don’t exist anymore.

Instead, you get a top four on your lineup card that looks like this:

Kyle Schwarber
Trea Turner
Bryce Harper
Luis Arraez

Paul Casella takes a closer look at the Phillies’ strategy here >>

AROUND THE LEAGUE

Here’s the news and notes from around the Majors.

• If you tuned in for the start of today’s Dodgers-Cubs game at Wrigley Field, you were in for a treat: dueling leadoff home runs from NL MVP candidates Shohei Ohtani and Pete Crow-Armstrong. Ohtani drew closer to Dodgers history with his 29th leadoff homer for L.A. , only for PCA to pull the Cubs even in the bottom of the first with his own leadoff shot to center. Watch Ohtani’s homer here and PCA’s homer here.

• Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. had a heck of an MLB debut last night. The 21-year-old launched a home run for his first career hit and dazzled with his glove at shortstop. He was the youngest player to start at shortstop for the Yankees since — who else? — Derek Jeter on June 11, 1995.

• Matt Olson tied Hall of Famer Stan Musial for eighth place all-time on MLB’s most consecutive games played list. The Braves’ stalwart first baseman played in his 895th straight game yesterday against the Marlins, and Olson is set to pass Stan the Man tonight (7:15 p.m. ET, MLB.TV).

• Tarik Skubal looked strong in his Dodgers debut, tossing six innings of two-run, six-strikeout baseball against the Cubs in his first career start at Wrigley Field. The ace southpaw now has a 2.81 ERA on the season and 122 K’s in 102 2/3 innings. The Cubs took the win, but Skubal and the Dodgers have their eyes set on the postseason.

• See who’s moving up in the post-Trade Deadline edition of our Power Rankings. (Hint: The team that just got Skubal looks pretty good.)

PLAYERS SET UP TO THRIVE WITH NEW TEAMS

Trade Deadline movers who could benefit from new teams

Some players can benefit from a change of scenery more than others. So who fits the bill from this year’s traded players?

Max Ralph tried to identify the seven players traded at the Deadline who stand to gain the most from their new situation.

Players like:

Clay Holmes with the Cubs

Holmes is a ground-ball machine, ranking in the top 5% of MLB pitchers with a 55% ground-ball rate induced. The Cubs defense vacuums up ground balls — they’re MLB’s best fielding team by Statcast’s Fielding Run Value stat.

Heliot Ramos with the Yankees

Ramos’ power numbers could get a boost at Yankee Stadium, even though he’s a right-handed hitter. That’s because he has a lot of pop to the opposite field. Ramos would have a projected 13 home runs this season if he’d played all his games in the Bronx, compared to the nine homers he actually has.

Freddy Peralta with the Rays

While Peralta’s Rays debut at hitter-friendly Coors Field didn’t go so well, “Fastball Freddy” might pick up a few tricks on one of his other pitch types, the changeup, from a Tampa Bay team that has mastered it.

2025 “Grand Veneur”

Côtes du Rhône Blanc

(Rhône Valley, France)

Bright Rhône White. Endless Summer Vibes.

Our Thoughts…this is the kind of white Rhône we love to have on hand all summer long. Bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced, it opens with delicate floral aromas and juicy stone fruit before revealing flavors of white peach, ripe orchard fruit, and a subtle hint of almond. Crisp acidity keeps every sip refreshing, making it an easy choice for warm evenings on the patio, beach weekends, or casual dinners with friends. Crafted from a classic Southern Rhône blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, and Clairette, this organically grown wine is all about vibrant fruit and purity, thanks to stainless steel aging with no oak. Pair it with fresh seafood, grilled fish, goat cheese, or a summer vegetable tart, and you’ll have a bottle that’s as versatile as it is delicious.

About the winery…the Jaume family has been crafting wines in the Southern Rhône since 1826, carrying on a tradition that dates back to the papal vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Now led by the fifth and sixth generations of the family, Alain Jaume and his children continue to produce expressive Rhône wines that showcase the region’s exceptional terroir. With certified organic vineyards, hand-harvested grapes, and a focus on quality, the Grand Veneur wines reflect the purity, balance, and character that have made the Jaume name one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected.

Acts 4:36 – Barnabas Son of Encouragement: Meaning and…

Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.

Acts 4:36

(36) And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
King James Version Change email Bible version

In Acts 4:36 Luke translates Barnabas to mean “son of encouragement” or “son of consolation.” The original Greek word rendered “encouragement,” paraklesis, means encouragement, consolation, comfort, exhortation, and entreaty. It may be that the apostles who gave Joseph the name Barnabas, saw all of these qualities in his character.

What was it that Barnabas did so well? Paul writes that it is a minister’s responsibility to be encouraging to God’s church. Ministers are sent “to establish and encourage [us] concerning our faith” (I Thessalonians 3:2-3). Barnabas wisely encouraged people by pointing them in the right direction—toward the coming Kingdom of God. All the members in Antioch he “encouraged . . . that with a purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord” (Acts 11:23).

Your Night Prayer

Learn More About Madonna of the Roses Today’s Email Partner is: Catholic Coffee.

A Night Prayer

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Quote of the Day

“(And a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.”

— Luke 2:35

Today’s Meditation

“Saint Joseph lived on Divine Providence. Had Baby Jesus not been given gold, frankincense, and myrrh by the Wise Men in Bethlehem, it is likely that the Head of the Holy Family would not have had money to purchase food and other necessities for his family when they fled to Egypt. After all, when they journeyed from Nazareth to Bethlehem to fulfill the census, they did not bring many things with them because they expected to return to Nazareth from Egypt. The Holy Family lived for almost 30 year in a house in Nazareth that was simple and small. …Saint Joseph will teach you how to be detached from earthly things and abandoned to Divine Providence. You will never find true happiness in material goods. When you allow your relationship with God to be dependent upon whether you have material things, you are headed for unhappiness. The person who is poor in spirit, on the other hand, is able to proclaim, “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21).” —Donald H. Calloway, MIC. pg.129An excerpt from 30 Day Eucharistic Revival

Examination of Conscience

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.1. Reflect on the victories and losses

Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.

2. Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.3. Practice gratitude

It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.

Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
Thank God for all these moments!
Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.

4. Renew your commitment to Christ

Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
