What happened: Doval had struggled since arriving at last year's deadline and became expendable as New York pursued a bullpen upgrade. The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly acquired Tarik Skubal in a separate deal.
Why it matters: New York's urgency sharpened after its bullpen surrendered four runs over the final two innings Saturday. The offense scored twice, one earned, against David Peterson in the loss.
By the numbers: Skubal posted a 2.03 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 31 innings over his last five starts.
What to watch: The Yankees face Chicago at 2:20 p.m. ET at Wrigley Field, while Pete Fairbanks remains a trade candidate. MLB's deadline closes Monday at 6 p.m. ET.
