The Pittsburgh Pirates will move Paul Skenes' next scheduled start back three days, giving the struggling ace extra rest amid the worst stretch of his major league career. Pirates manager Don Kelly announced Saturday that Skenes, who initially was slated to pitch Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, instead will start Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Kelly stressed that the move was not injury-related, while Skenes indicated he supported the manager's decision.

I don't see a reason not to send him in for imaging just in case there are any arm issues, regardless of how he says he feels.

If you've seen a pic of him lately, he's probably 30 pounds overweight.

Probably has nothing to do with whats hurting him. Hes probably always been where hes currently at and being a world class athlete doesnt mean you look like a model either. Lots of odd body types that played sports at an elite level ESPECIALLY in baseball.

Seems like there has been chatter that not having rested because off the WBC has affected him this year and all he needs is a little rest. That’s why they are skipping a start.

Being overweight can easily mess with his pitching mechanics. The pics on the beach are either a bad angle or his gut looks like 95% of TigerDroppings users

I'm convinced the WBC messed up a lot of players this year.

They need to shut him down for the rest of the season. Something ain’t right.

Not sure if its a physical or mental issue.
