Yes but It all depends on how bad his back issues are. Even in Nashville he was being pulled in the 4th or 5th inning. He may be one of those guys that you cannot stretch out beyond 4 innings up here. He's basically only a long reliever.
Yes, MLB Network has brought it up twice already just today. I'm always leary of trades right after a "procedure" removing bone chips from his elbow. Skubal had some pain and clicking.
