Team USA Starting Pitcher vs. Great Britain
USA manager Mark DeRosa said that two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is expected to start Saturday against Great Britain, followed by NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes versus Mexico on Monday. It will be Skubal’s lone appearance before he returns to Tigers for spring training.
New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean is tentatively scheduled to start on Tuesday in the final pool-play game against Italy, even though he’s dealing with an illness and wasn’t with Team USA for Monday’s practice.
Team USA Starting Lineup vs. Great Britain
Expect a potent lineup for Team USA. While DeRosa has yet to officially announce his lineup, this was the USA’s order when it played Brazil in Friday’s opener, which included three-time AL MVP and Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, Mariners catcher Cal “Big Dumper” Raleigh (who knocked 60 HRs last season), and a pair of Phillies superstars in first baseman Bryce Harper and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.
