What happened: The Dodgers acquired Tarik Skubal from Detroit on Saturday night. Jeff Passan reported Monday that Chicago is acquiring Kevin Gausman from Toronto after seeking a playoff-caliber starter.
Why it matters: The Dodgers add the two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner to a rotation with a major-league-best 3.36 ERA. Chicago fills its rotation need as contenders pursue the remaining starters.
By the numbers: Skubal posted a 2.03 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 31 innings over his final five starts before the trade.
What to watch: Jim Bowden listed Mize, Ray, Soriano, Detmers, Holmes, May and Bieber among the starters still available. Their markets bear watching through the deadline.
