Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the team's upcoming road trip from Friday through Thursday, July 25, against the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians. The Tigers are being cautious with Mize, who will continue to rehab his injured hamstring in Lakeland, Florida, at the team's spring training facility. The hope is that the 27-year-old will be able to throw off a mound soon after having not appeared at all in July to this point with a left-hamstring strain. Before he's cleared to rejoin Detroit's starting rotation, Mize is also going to need to make at least one minor-league rehab start, so fantasy managers can't expect him to return until at least early August. The former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn has been up and down in his first year in the big leagues since 2022, going 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 58 K's in 78 2/3 innings.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) will be placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a hamstring injury that he suffered in his last start on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. It was initially believed that Mize was suffering from a hamstring cramp on Sunday, but it turned out to be a more serious injury that will now sideline him through the All-Star break in mid-July. Jack Flaherty is dealing with more back problems and will miss his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins, so the team's No. 5 prospect, Keider Montero, will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his second big-league start on Wednesday. Montero, who struggled in his first MLB start, could stick in Detroit's rotation following the All-Star break if he pitches well on Wednesday and Mize isn't ready to go when he's eligible to come off the IL.
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) is likely an injured-list candidate and that his hamstring was more of an injury than just a leg cramp. Mize left his last start early on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels with a left-hamstring injury. It was initially believed that the 27-year-old was just dealing with a cramp, but the injury appears a bit more serious now. If he is indeed put on the 15-day injured list, Mize will be unavailable for the Tigers and fantasy managers through the All-Star break in mid-July. In his first season in the big leagues since 2022, Mize has gone 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA (3.68 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 21 walks in 78 2/3 innings over his 16 starts. It's been a bit disappointing that his strikeout rate sits at a weak 16.8%. Matt Manning and Keider Montero are the two likeliest options to take over for Mize in Detroit's rotation.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander was seen grabbing his hamstring after trying to go after a foul pop-up. He was taken out with one out in the sixth inning and a 7-0 lead. Before exiting, Mize allowed three hits, walked two batters, and struck out two hitters. Alex Faedo took over on the mound and could be a candidate to move into the rotation if Mize misses time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.
Detroit Tigers starter Casey Mize allowed three runs on eight hits across 4 1/3 innings of work during Sunday's 14-11 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He walked two batters and did not record a strikeout. Mize has had a rocky May as he owns a 6.56 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and 16:6 K:BB across five starts this month. The poor stretch of play may ultimately cost the 27-year-old his rotation spot as right-hander Matt Manning has seen increased playing time as of late. Mize has certainly not lived up to the hype after being selected first overall in the 2018 draft. He is best left on the waiver wire at this point.
