Tarik Skubal's Los Angeles Dodgers debut on Tuesday night was spoiled when Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson hit a home run off him. Fans mocked the left-hander, who was acquired by the Dodgers as the biggest prize of the MLB trade deadline. The Dodgers' matchup against the Cubs was the headline game of the week.
In New York, Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr. made his major league debut, starting in place of the struggling Anthony Volpe. Lombard hit a solo home run for his first career hit and turned multiple double plays in a standout performance at Yankee Stadium, according to Fox News.
CBS Sports noted that while the Dodgers caught the 'white whale' at the deadline, other trades will also have an impact.
