Tigers right-hander pitched six innings of one-run ball on Tuesday against the D-backs, but had to settle for a no-decision.
Fantasy Impact
The Tigers' bullpen imploded in this one, allowing six runs in the eighth inning to cost Mize the win in a 7-5 loss on Tuesday. The right-hander punched out nine D-backs hitters while allowing just four hits and a pair of walks. A 2025 All-Star, Mize could boast some deep league fantasy value this season, although with a 7.55 K/9 for his career, it's hard to imagine the punchouts continuing to rack up for the former No. 1 overall pick.
Casey Mize will start the fifth game of the season on the mound for the Detroit Tigers according to Cody Stavenhagen.
Fantasy Impact
Mize will look to get off to a strong start to the regular season on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks while in the midst of a forgettable spring (7.04 ERA, 1.83 WHIP) for the Tigers. The right-hander offered manager AJ Hinch one of the more impactful rotation options in 2025, posting a 1.27 WHIP and 3.87 ERA over 28 starts (14-6, 139 strikeouts) for the Tigers in 2025.
Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers avoided arbitration and agreed on a $6.15 million salary for Mize in 2026.
Fantasy Impact
The former #1 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, Mize enjoyed his best season at the big league level in 2025. The righthander went 14-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 149 innings. He has a 4.19 career ERA in 440 career innings with the Tigers and will occupy a middle-of-the-rotation spot again in 2026.
The Tigers have named Casey Mize as their starter for Game 2 of the Wild Card series against the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Mize had been left off the ALDS roster last season. "It fueled a lot of my offseason work and the things I wanted to do to get better to never let that happen again," Mize said.
Casey Mize allowed two earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight over 6.1 innings in Friday's narrow defeat to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s outing, Mize holds a 3.87 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 14 wins across 28 starts this season. He wraps the regular season with 139 strikeouts in 149 innings.
