Skubal also emotional about leaving Detroit and he allowed two earned runs in six innings in his Dodgers debut loss on Aug. 4.

Varsho to Astros for Arrighetti as Jays chase rotation depth

The Blue Jays and Astros are nearing a deal that would send Daulton Varsho to Houston in exchange for right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, with Toronto reportedly paying part of Varsho’s $10.75 million salary. Varsho would add a left-handed bat and strong defense to the Astros’ outfield, while Arrighetti—currently dealing with a foot nerve issue and on the IL—would give Toronto added rotation depth and control for several years.

Rays add veteran Peralta to bolster rotation ahead of deadline

The Rays acquired veteran right-hander Freddy Peralta from the Mets for three minor-leaguers—Aidan Smith, Emilien Pitre and Gary Gill Hill—to shore up a rotation that needs depth with Shane McClanahan on the IL. Peralta, 30, is a two-time All-Star who went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA for Milwaukee in 2025, but has struggled this year (5-9, 4.99 ERA in 22 Mets starts). He’s under the final year of an $8 million extension and will be a free agent after the season. The move comes as Tampa Bay, with the AL’s best record, eyes further upgrades before the Monday deadline, and Fraley was moved to the 60-day injured list to clear a 40-man spot for Peralta; a debut could come as soon as Tuesday in Denver. The Mets acquired Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat for Peralta in January.
