Scouting report
Tolle, Red Sox: This will be the third start for the 6-6, 250-pound lefty who started the season in Triple-A. He blew the doors off the Yankees in his season debut April 23, striking out 11 in six innings. He had control issues in his last start in Toronto. But he is a problem for hitters with his size, plus a 7-4 extension on his four-seamer (96 mph) and sinker (95 mph). He also mixes in a cutter and a curveball.
Skubal, Tigers: He gave everyone, himself included, a scare in Atlanta when he stopped the game momentarily to rub out some discomfort on the outside of his left forearm. But, after one practice pitch he proceeded to strike out the side in his seventh and final inning of the night. He’s reported no related issues in his between-starts work over the weekend.
