Paul Skenes Reflects on Pirates' Losing Season, Potential Two-Start Week

Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes recently commented on the team's 29th losing season since 1992, asserting that the year would be 'wasted' if the team and players fail to learn any lessons. As the 2025 MLB season concludes, the Pirates are employing a six-man rotation, which typically means no pitcher will make two starts in the final week. However, there's a slim chance Skenes could be moved up to start on Tuesday, potentially lining him up for two outings against the Reds and Braves. Despite this possibility, the article notes that such a move is 'not particularly likely' and would not impact fantasy managers, as Skenes is considered a locked-in option regardless of his schedule.
