Tigers right-hander Casey Mize pitched seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts while earning the win over the Yankees on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Mize absolutely stifled the Yankees in this one, allowing just one hit -- a single -- and zero walks while punching out 10 Yankees hitters on the evening. Perhaps most impressive is that he accomplished the feat in just 88 pitches. Had the Tigers not been leading 7-0 at the time of his departure, a complete game shutout could have theoretically been in the cards. Nonetheless, the former No. 1 pick lowered his ERA to a tidy 2.63 mark through 12 starts and will look to keep rolling either on Sunday against the Rangers or on Tuesday against the Athletics, depending on whether the Tigers adopt a six-man rotation with Jack Flaherty returning from the IL this week.
Tigers right-hander Casey Mize allowed four earned runs on eight hits while striking out six across 5 2/3 innings, taking the loss on Tuesday against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Mize held the Yankees scoreless through three innings before the Yankees got on the board with a run in the fourth. Still, Mize seemed poised for a potential win with a 3-1 lead heading into the sixth, but a Jazz Chisholm two-run homer and an Austin Wells RBI double gave the Yankees a 4-3 lead that would wind up being the final score, tagging Mize with the loss. The right-hander allowed eight hits and walked one while striking out six. Nonetheless, the former No. 1 pick will take a sturdy 2.95 ERA into his next scheduled start at home against the Astros on Sunday.
Casey Mize allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Mize fought issues with command in his return from the injured list, allowing more than two earned runs for the first time in his last eight trips to the mound. The right-hander continues to offer manager AJ Hinch one of the more steady starting options in an inconsistent Tigers rotation, carrying a 2.58 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with a 2-4 record and 8.9 K/9 ratio across 10 starts.
The Tigers activated Casey Mize from the injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Mize makes his way back from a groin injury. He is set to take the mound for Wednesday’s game against the Astros.
Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) is expected to be activated to start Wednesday's game in Houston.
Fantasy Impact
Mize was initially scheduled to come off the injured list to start Sunday's series finale in Cleveland, but a postponement has thrown a wrench into those plans. The Tigers have opted to keep right-hander Troy Melton and left-hander Framber Valdez on regular rest to start the first two games of the series before Mize is activated to start on Wednesday in Houston against the Astros.
