Following Webb, two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will start against Great Britain on Saturday, while 2025 NL Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes will face Mexico on March 9."

"Team USA is participating in Pool B, which also features Brazil, Great Britain, Italy and Mexico. The games will be held at Daikin Park, the home of the Houston Astros."
