Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, is experiencing a decline in velocity and effectiveness, prompting a postponement of his start against the Boston Red Sox to pitch on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Skenes expressed support for the decision, acknowledging the need for recovery after a previous outing where he failed to hit 96 mph. With a 3.88 ERA and 166 strikeouts, he has struggled recently, posting a 5.79 ERA in his last nine starts. The Pirates, currently 61-65, are 6.5 games behind in the Wild Card race as they prepare for a crucial series against the Tigers.
