Published on March 12, 2026.
Team USA has removed Tarik Skubal from its roster for the World Cup bracket round of the tournament, replacing him with three relief pitchers. The move comes as Skubar returns to spring training with the Detroit Tigers and joins Tigers, Blue Jays, and Yankees relievers Will Vest, Tyler Rogers, and Tim Hill. This move expands the number of late-game options for manager Mark DeRosa, potentially allowing Team USA to play three games in the quarterfinals against Canada.
