Casey Mize goes 6 2/3 to pick up victory over Texas

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Player Stats

Casey Mize allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings while being credited with a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Mize continues to pitch well, although his ERA did increase ever-so-slightly from 2.63 to 2.64 with this effort. He didn’t have the same swing-and-miss he did against the Yankees on Monday, but he limited the hard contact while allowing just five hits, striking out four and getting into the seventh inning. The former first-overall pick has looked the part thus far, and he’ll have a chance to keep it going against the Phillies on Saturday.

Alejandro Osuna is absent from the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers.

Osuna had started every game this week in left field, so he’ll get a breather for Sunday’s tilt against the Tigers. Josh Smith will start in his place and will bat seventh for the Rangers against right-hander Casey Mize.

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize tossed seven scoreless innings and got the win in the Tigers’ victory over the Yankees on Monday.

Mize allowed one hit, walked none and struck out 10. He improved to 3-5 with the win. Last week, Mize took the loss against the Yankees at home when he allowed a go-ahead home run to Jazz Chisholm in the sixth inning. On Monday, he was almost untouchable. A harmless Spencer Jones double was the only baserunner against Mize in seven innings of dominant work. He has a 2.63 ERA and 3.53 xFIP, both of which represent career-bests. Mize is lined up to face the Rangers on the road this weekend.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday.

Mize gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out six. He fell to 2-5 with the loss. Mize was done in by a three-run sixth inning from the Yankees. Jazz Chisholm hit a two-run home run before Jose Caballero singled and scored on an Austin Wells double after Mize was removed from the game. He has a 2.95 ERA and a 3.75 xFIP in 11 starts. Mize is lined up to face the Astros this weekend.

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize fell to 2-4 on Wednesday in Houston, allowing three earned run on six hits over 4 2/3 innings pitched.

Mize struck out three and walked one, raising his ERA to 2.58. The former first overall pick was making his first start back from a minor groin issue, throwing 86 pitches. He has leaned more heavily into his fastball/splitter/slider mix so far in 2026, and it’s leading to the best results of his career. Consider Mize a strong fantasy option next time out despite a tough matchup against the Yankees, which at least comes in his spacious home park.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize will have his next start pushed back to Wednesday after Sunday’s game against the Guardians was rained out.

Mize had been slated to be activated from the injured list and return on Sunday, but the Tigers will instead stay on schedule with Troy Melton and Framber Valdez for the first two games against the Astros in Houston, with Mize working the finale on Wednesday.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Sunday’s scheduled contest between the Tigers and Guardians was postponed due on inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Friday, September 3. Expect Sunday’s scheduled starters — Casey Mize and Gavin Williams — to work for their respective clubs on Monday and Tuesday.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize (adductor) allowed one run over five innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Low-A Lakeland.

Casey Mize averaged 93 mph on his fastball and topped out at 94.8 mph during the 55-pitch outing, according to MLB.com’s Jason Beck. He finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk. He’ll likely require at least one additional tune-up outing to continue building up his pitch count before returning to Detroit’s rotation.

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize (adductor) will make a minor league rehab start at Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday.

Mize has been on the injured list since May 28 due to right adductor inflammation — the second time this season that same injury has put him on the shelf. He’s only expected to need one tune-up in the minors before being ready to rejoin the Tigers’ rotation. With Mize, Justin Verlander and Tarik Skubal all nearing returns, the Tigers’ rotation is going to get awfully crowded in a couple of weeks.

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Casey Mize (adductor) is likely to need a rehab assignment.

This will push his return well into June, potentially towards the end of the month. Mize has been on the IL twice this year with the same injury and the Tigers will likely be cautious with him to make sure he’s okay. He’s not a must-hold in shallow leagues.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Tigers placed RHP Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation.

The Tigers had been hopeful that Mize would be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list after leaving Wednesday’s start with another groin issue, but they’ll take the cautious approach and sit him down to make sure it heals properly. Beau Brieske was activated from the 60-day injured list to take his place on the active roster on Friday.

Ivan Herrera was added to the National League All-Star team as an injury replacement for Dodgers’ superstar Shohei Ohtani.

It’s the first trip to the Mid-Summer Classic for the 26-year-old backstop. Herrera has had a solid first half at the plate, slashing .249/.384/.395 with 11 long balls, 40 RBI and a 68/51 K/BB ratio over 411 plate appearances.

Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Shohei Ohtani will have his left knee drained on Sunday.

He still didn’t give any sort of timeline on how long Ohtani will be held off of the mound for, but he did note that if this were September that Ohtani would still be pitching. Take that for what it’s worth. It sounds like he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list altogether, though it seems likely that he’ll miss at least a couple of trips through the Dodgers’ rotation.

The 25-year-old right-hander was away from the team for the first half of the week. He returns to a terrific 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 46/21 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in 43 appearances out of the Jays’ bullpen. He has also tallied three victories and a save on the year.

Mickey Moniak is in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Giants.

That’s noteworthy, as it’s the second time in four games this week that Moniak has suited up against a southpaw, though he has hit near the bottom of the lineup in both of those games. Still, fantasy managers have to be thrilled to see him starting to see the field against left-handers to go along with the outstanding production that he has provided against right-handers this season.

Jake Cronenworth is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s matchup against the Blue Jays.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the versatile 32-year-old. Cronenworth had started every other game during the week at either first base or second base. Ty France will start at first base and will bat sixth for the Padres against Blue Jays’ right-hander Shane Bieber.

Jacob deGrom has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday due to a mild left glute strain.

The Rangers are considering the possibility of placing deGrom on the injured list, but with the timing of the All-Star break they aren’t sure if it’s necessary or not yet. Either way, it sounds like the 38-year-old right-hander should only wind up missing a start or two. No word yet on who will take his place on the slab for Sunday’s first half finale.

Giants optioned LHP Carson Whisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento.

Whisenhunt pitched the Giants past the Rockies on Thursday, allowing just two runs on three hits over 5 2/3 innings. If there’s still an opening in the Giants’ rotation after the All-Star break, expect Whisenhunt to get another opportunity to stick around. In the meantime, they’ll utilize that roster spot on an extra bullpen arm for the remainder of their weekend series against the Rockies.

Giants activated RHP Keaton Winn from the 15-day injured list.

Winn missed nearly a month’s worth of action due to a right elbow strain. Before landing on the injured list on June 11, the 28-year-old righty had posted a 3.23 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and a 26/9 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings in his 29 appearances. His return should provide a nice boost to the back end of the Giants’ bullpen.
