What happened: Detroit is weighing whether to retain Tarik Skubal through its playoff chase. Mason Miller, traded last deadline, is again a possible move as A.J. Preller considers recouping part of that acquisition cost.

Why it matters: Detroit entered the weekend 49-54 and four games out of an AL wild-card spot, creating tension between a playoff push and a potential return. Miller's late-inning value offers another route to recover prospect capital from last summer's deal.

What to watch: Watch Detroit's results and whether trade interest becomes concrete during the final week.
