Eligibility
Casey Mize delivered a lukewarm performance, allowing two earned runs on six hits and striking out two over five innings in the Tigers' narrow 6-5 win over the Royals on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not factoring into the decision, Mize's outing was a mixed bag, providing minimal fantasy points due to a lack of strikeouts and a relatively high number of hits allowed. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.08, and his WHIP now stands at 1.22, which are decent figures but might not excite fantasy managers looking for a dominant ace. Mize's modest strikeout rate of 6.2 K/9 continues to be a concern for those needing punchouts to compete in their leagues. Moving forward, while he remains a stable rotation option, his limited strikeout upside could cap his overall fantasy value.

Casey Mize pitched six solid innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits with no walks and six strikeouts in the Tigers' 4-2 victory over the Rangers on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
This was Mize's best outing of the season so far. With a WHIP of 1.17 and a strong 4.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Mize continues to demonstrate the underlying skills that could lead to more consistent outcomes and lower his 4.11 ERA.
Casey Mize delivered a lukewarm performance in Tuesday's outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates, navigating through five innings with a line that won't have fantasy managers rushing to the waiver wire.
Fantasy Impact
Allowing five hits and one walk while only striking out two, Mize's effort was enough to keep the Tigers in the game, which they eventually won 5-3. With a season ERA now sitting at 4.82 and a WHIP of 1.39 through his first two starts, Mize's fantasy outlook remains tepid at best. Managers should keep expectations in check and consider him a matchup-dependent option until he shows signs of a more dominant form.
Casey Mize allowed three runs on five hits across 4 1/3 innings with four strikeouts and two walks in a no-decision against the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
Mize was making his first start in close to two years. It was a solid start for him in his return all things considered as he was eased back. He'll look to start throwing more pitches and working deeper into games as he gets more starts under his belt.
