Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch announced Tarik Skubal as the Opening Day starter on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit during Wednesday's spring game.

The Tigers went from dumping their roster at the trade deadline to winning a playoff series and forcing a Game 5 in the ALDS. They went and re-signed Jack Flaherty to improve their starting rotation, which is a step in the right direction, and added Gleyber Torres to a young lineup with plenty of room for growth.

Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal explains what motivates him to succeed in the 2025 season as spring training gets underway in Lakeland, Florida.
