Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto was asked about Skubal's acquisition after Saturday's 3-2 loss against the Boston Red Sox, and he admitted to reporters that he didn't expect his team to pull off the deal. "I was reading some rumors about that, but that it actually happened, I'm pretty surprised," Yamamoto said through an interpreter (1:40 mark). Yamamoto leads the Dodgers with a 2.76 ERA and 121 strikeouts while compiling an 11-7 record in 20 starts. "The Dodgers had long touted their depth as a reason they didn't need Skubal. Glasnow, out since May 6 because of back spasms, will begin a minor league rehab assignment next week," Gonzalez reported.
