Tigers trade 2-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal to Dodgers for trio of prospects

Ahead of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, The Detroit Tigers have traded Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder Zyhir Hope, and right-handed pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith, first reported by ESPN and confirmed by the team on Sunday afternoon.

Watch our report from the morning newscast Reports: Tigers trade Tarik Skubal

Through 15 starts this season, the left-hander has posted an Earned Run Average of 2.79, racking up 116 strikeouts in 96.2 innings pitched and posting a WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) of 0.910. Skubal posted a FanGraphs WAR (Wins Above Replacement) of 2.6, behind only Casey Mize (2.9) among 2026 Tigers pitchers. Skubal missed a month of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow.

In his last start, Skubal pitched 6.2 innings, striking out six batters and giving up three earned runs on four hits. He received two standing ovations from the Comerica Park; one after striking out Taylor Ward in the first inning for his 1000th career strikeout and one when he was taken out in the seventh inning.

Looking at the trio of prospects, outfielder Zyhir Hope is ranked No. 25 in all of baseball and No. 5 in the Dodgers' system. Playing with the AA Tulsa Drillers, Hope has posted a .293 batting average, a .369 on-base percentage, a .530 slugging percentage, adding up to an OPS of .899. Hope has recorded 109 hits in 94 games, including 23 home runs and 87 RBIs to go along with 18 stolen bases. Hope is a career .281 hitter (305-for-1086) with a .384 on-base percentage, a .478 slugging percentage and an .862 OPS covering the last four seasons starting in 2023.ย  He has 62 doubles, 48 homers and 212 RBI in 294 minor league games.

Ryan and Smith are rated No. 7 and No. 17 in the Dodgers system, respectively. Ryan (No. 68 overall prospect in MLB), who missed all of 2025 after undergoing Tommy John surgery the year prior, has started 8 games in 2026 for AAA Oklahoma City Baseball Club, posting an 4.46 ERA while striking out 43 batters in 36 1/3 innings pitched and posting a WHIP of 1.29. From 2022-24, Ryan posted a combined 3.02 ERA with 230 strikeouts and 84 walks across 53 games (49 starts).

Splitting time between the Ottawa Tower Buzzers (A) and the Great Lake Loons (A+) this season, Smith has started 21 games, posting a 4.36 ERA while allowing just 62 hits in 74 1/3 innings pitched while racking up 104 strikeouts and posting a WHIP of 1.20. The 21-year-old has made 21 starts this season (19 with Ontario, two with Great Lakes).

Skubal won a landmark salary arbitration hearing this off-season against the Tigers, being awarded a $32 million salary, the highest mark in arbitration history, surpassing Juan Soto's $31 million in 2024. He is set to become a free agent following this season.

Skubal has won the last two American League Cy Young awards, given to the best pitcher in the AL. He's the first pitcher to win the AL Cy Young in consecutive seasons since Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000. He also was named an All Star in 2024 and 2025. In six playoff appearances, Skubal has posted a 2.04 ERA and 56 strikeouts.

Hailing from Seattle University, Skubal was drated by the Tigers in the ninth round of the 2018 MLB Draft. Making his major league debut in 2020, Skubal has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the last few seasons, posting a career ERA of 3.05 through 148 starts, racking up 300 more strikeouts (987) than hits (680).

As of Friday, July 31, the Tigers have a 52-58 record, placing them six games back from leading the American League Central and three games back from a Wild Card spot. The Tigers have been one of the best teams in baseball since June 1 (26-16, third-best record in baseball), but put themselves in a big hole after posting a 6-22 record in the month of May.

The trade deadline is 6 p.m. EST on Monday, August 3.

Livonia man charged with sex crimes after allegedly assaulting 11-year-old girl

A Livonia man has been charged with four counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct after prosecutors say he assaulted an 11-year-old girl last month.

Watch Ruta Ulciniate's video report: Livonia man charged with sex crimes after allegedly assaulting 11-year-old girl

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office began investigating 31-year-old Jeremiah Michael Bishop on June 18, after the victim's grandfather reported allegations of sexual abuse involving his daughter's boyfriend.

Detectives were able to interview the victim's mother, who said her daughter had provided investigators with text messages where the suspect admits to the abuse.

The child disclosed "multiple incidents of abuse" in a recent forensic interview at Care House. He was arrested at his mother's residence last week.

Bishop was in court on Friday, July 24, where he was charged with four counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Second Degree (victim under 13). The judge issued a cash surety bond of $850,000 with GPS tether provision. Bishop is set to appear in court again next month; if convicted, he faces up to 60 years in prison.

"Nothing is more important than protecting our children. The allegations that this 31-year-old man sexually assaulted a 11-year-old child are horrific. Anyone who preys on a child must be held fully accountable. We will do everything in our power to protect children and pursue justice for victims," Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard said in a press release.

Michigan set to pay Warde Manuel $7.1 million as part of separation agreement

The University of Michigan will pay outgoing athletic director Warde Manuel more than $7 million as part of a separation agreement between the two parties.

According to the agreement which was obtained via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by 7 News Detroit the University will pay Manuel a lump sum of $7,143,346 within 21 days of his resignation on Dec. 31.

Michigan will also contribute $108,000 towards Manuel's retirement account, waiving the policy requirement of 20 years of service towards the university. Per the deal, Manuel also gets the same access to sports tickets and golf course access as other former athletic directors.

A few other notes from the separation agreement:

Manuel agreed to a non-compete as part of the deal, which means he can't work in the athletic department of any Big Ten schools in 2027 or 2028 Manuel's representation will get $82,000 in legal fees from the university The agreement is not an admission of liability on the university's part.

Last week, the university announced that Warde would step down at the end of 2026. The Chicago law firm Jenner & Block has been investigating Michigan athletics since December, when head football coach Sherrone Moore was fired for having a romantic relationship with his assistant. The results of the investigation have not been made available to the public, but Michigan released it's own findings along with this statement.

"Maintaining the confidentiality of the investigation protects the privacy of the members of our community who participated, promotes the willingness of witnesses to participate in any future investigations by allaying concerns relating to privacy or risk of retaliation, preserves investigative integrity, and protects the attorney-client privilege that covers the investigation," Michigan said in the FAQs section of the findings, as to why a report has not been made available.

On December 10 last year, Moore was fired "for cause" from the Head Football Coach position at the University of Michigan, following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with his former staffer Paige Shiver. Prosecutors say just hours after losing his job, Moore broke into her home and threatened to harm himself. Moore pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges back in April, following a deal that dismissed more serious charges.

80-year-old Shelby Township man killed in ORV crash

An 80-year-old Shelby Township man is dead after crashing an off-road vehicle in Holly earlier this weekend.

The crash happened at the Holly Oaks ORV Park, with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office saying the crash happened sometime between 11:45 a.m. and 2:16 p.m. on Saturday, July 25.

Investigators say that the man was operating a 2022 Can-Am Outlander while riding on the park's trail system near the top of a hill. We're told that as he went down the hill, he lost control of the ORV, before being thrown from the vehicle and overthrowing it.

The man, who was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials do not believe alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash.

Detroit father charged with child abuse after allegedly taking infant daughter to party, crashing motorcycle

A Detroit father has been charged with multiple counts of child abuse after prosecutors say he took his 1-year-old daughter to a party, left her to swim with neighbors, and crashed his motorcycle with his daughter hitting her head in the crash.

Investigators allege that Kabamba Kyalangalilwa, 35, took his daughter to a party at a home in the 12800 block of Braile Street in Detroit on Sunday, June 28, around 11:30 a.m. After arriving at the party, prosecutors say the man took his daughter to a neighboring home and asked residents he did not know to allow her to swim with their children. He then left the child at the stranger's home and went back to the party.

Prosecutors claim that five hours later, an intoxicated Kyaloangalilwa picked up his daughter and put her on his motorcycle, unsecured. We're told that he proceeded to speed away on the bike before losing control, causing both him and the 1-year-old to fall off the side of the motorcycle.

The infant hit her head on a curb and was hospitalized to treat lacerations to her head, face and legs. When police got to the scene, the man tried to speed away before abandoning the crashed bike and fleeing on foot before ultimately being arrested.

The 35-year-old has been charged with the following:

1 count of Second Degree Child Abuse 1 count of Child Abandonment 1 count of Fourth Degree Child Abuse 1 count of Operating while License Suspended, Revoked or Denied 1 count of reckless driving

Kyaloangalilwa was arraigned earlier this month. Bond was initially set at $100,000 cash/surety before it was lowered to $25,000 paired with a GPS tether and a 9 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew. He's set to appear in court again next month.

"I do not recall in all of my years as a prosecutor and judge ever seeing a set of facts like this. The alleged conduct of this defendant was way beyond atrocious and horrendous. This poor baby deserved the appropriate care, dedication, and simple human decency. It is miraculous that she is still among the living," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy in a press release on the charges.

2 injured in Warren Motel Fire

Two people were hospitalized after a fire broke out at a motel in Warren late Wednesday night, the city's fire department tells us.

First responders got the scene of the motel in the 2300 block of Dequindre road, near Nine Mile, around 11 p.m.

Firefighters were met with heavy smoke, and found a man inside before removing him from the building as they fought the fire. The man was transported to a nearby hospital, where he is in crticial condition.

Fire officials say they found a second person, a woman, who suffered injuries after jumping out the window from a second-story walkway. She was transported to the hospital, but she's expected t make a full recovery.

The cause of the fire, which firefighters contained to the room that it started in, is being investigated at this time. Investigators say the fire doesn't appear to be suspecious.

Number of cyclosporiasis cases in Michigan jumps to over 5,000, MDHHS says

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said the number of people with confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis jumped to 5,002 as of Friday morning.

WATCH OUR PREVIOUS COVERAGE MDHHS releases new recommendations for cyclosporiasis amid spike in cases Local restaurant details precautions it's taking amid cyclosporiasis outbreak Michigan cyclosporiasis outbreak likely largest in US history, health officials say FULL INTERVIEW: Michigan's Chief Medical Executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, updates the cyclosporiasis situation

That's up by 690 cases from Thursday, July 16, and more than four times the amount of reported cases since last week.

MDHHS also reported that 102 people have been hospitalized with symptoms from cyclosporiasis.

State health officials have released updated recommendations for cyclosporiasis, saying that early results indicate that lettuce or salad greens may be the possible source. According to the Michigan Department of Health, no specific type of produce, grower or supplier has been identified as the source, and other food items cannot be completely ruled out.

Below are the recent recommendations from the MDHHS:

Focus on lettuce and salad greens

Purchase whole heads: Buy whole heads of lettuce rather than pre-washed, bagged lettuce or pre-mixed salad kits. Discard outer layers: Before preparation, throw away the outer two to three layers of leaves. Wash inner leaves: Thoroughly wash the remaining inner leaves under clean running water. Prioritize cooking: For any greens that can be cooked, cooking to a temperature of at least 158 F (70 C) is the safest option, as the parasite is resistant to routine chemical disinfection and washing alone cannot guarantee its removal.

Previous outbreaks

The following foods have been specifically linked to previouscyclosporaoutbreaks in the United States and Canada:

Bagged salad mixes and kits. Fresh cilantro(coriander leaves). Fresh basil. Raspberries. Snow peas. Green onions(scallions).

General rules to reduce risk

Cook when possible.Heating food to 158 F (70 C) or higher kills cyclospora. Peel produce. Peeling ishighly effectivefor food items with removable skin as the parasite sits on the outer surface. Wash all fresh produce. Washunder clean running water, even if you plan to peel it. Pre-washed does not guarantee safety and rewashing bagged lettuce is unlikely to remove cyclospora. While washing alone may not fully eliminate cyclospora, it enhances protection when combined with cooking or peeling.

If you do become illย ย 

People experiencing frequent, watery diarrhea are encouraged to contact their health care provider and specifically request testing for c
