Casey Mize Fantasy Stats

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize finally had a healthy season in 2025, and the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 MLB Draft had his best season in the majors. He went 14-6 in his 28 starts with a 3.87 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 3.89 FIP, while totaling 139 strikeouts over 149 innings. Mize doesn't pick up enough strikeouts to be an elite starting option, but he should open the season as the Tigers' fifth starter behind Tarik Skubal, Framber Valdez, Jack Flaherty, and Justin Verlander. With a good lineup behind him, he can be a solid source of wins, ERA, and innings if he stays healthy again this season, which will be his last year before becoming a free agent for the first time in his career. He is currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 104 starting pitcher, but his ADP (average draft position) has him even lower than that, so if you need a late-round depth option to help round out your staff, Mize has a high floor with enough upside to make him a good value consideration, especially if you have high-strikeout, high-risk options elsewhere in your rotation.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize had his swing-and-miss stuff going for him during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Mize was blasted for three runs in the fifth inning, but was sharp outside of that. He tossed 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out 10 batters in the win. The 10 punchouts tied a career high as Mize looked untouchable throughout most of this outing. He'll take a 3.63 ERA into his next matchup which is a favorable start against the Kansas City Royals next week.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (knee) is still expected to start in the upcoming home series against the Diamondbacks, despite dealing with minor knee tightness that has disrupted his usual between-start routine. The 28-year-old struggled in his last outing against the Pirates, allowing 10 hits and four runs. Still, Mize has quietly had a strong fifth season, going 9-4 with a 3.40 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 17 starts. He will be monitored closely in his next appearance as the Tigers hope the knee issue proves to be nothing more than a temporary setback.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (9-2) earned his ninth win of the year Saturday in a 1-0 shutout of the Cleveland Guardians. Mize tied a season high with seven innings of work and allowed just four hits and two walks on 102 pitches. The former No. 1 overall pick struck out four in his sixth quality start of the season. Mize is now on a six-start run in which he has yielded a meager nine earned runs across 34 2/3 innings. As a result, Mize's ERA has fallen to 2.63 with 73:21 K:BB and a 1.18 WHIP in 78 2/3 frames. He's scheduled to end a productive first half with a tough home start against the Seattle Mariners on Friday.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (leg) exited his start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday with what appeared to be a leg injury. It turns out the Tigers removed Mize because of cramping, manager A.J. Hinch said. Expectations are that Mize will make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Minnesota Twins. Before exiting a 9-3 win over the Rays, Mize threw five innings of one-run ball with six hits allowed and five strikeouts against no walks. It was the latest solid performance for the former No. 1 overall pick, who has gone 7-2 and amassed 72 innings of 2.88 ERA pitching with 64:18 K:BB and a 1.24 WHIP.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (leg) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's outing against the Tampa Bay Rays. He was pulled out in the sixth inning after a visit with the training staff after showing a dip in velocity. Mize appeared to be flexing his right leg, so possibly his departure is due to cramping or dehydration. Before exiting, Mize tossed five innings, allowing one earned run on five hits while striking out five batters. Fantasy managers should check back for an update on his status following the contest.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Mize will make his way back to the mound after landing on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. Before going down, Mize posted a 2.53 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 35/9 K/BB ratio across seven starts. The right-hander is hopeful to pick up where he left off against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Mize has pitched well enough this season to warrant being rostered in most fantasy formats. In a corresponding move, outfielder Akil Baddoo has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) threw five innings in a simulated game at Comerica Park on Monday, according to The Detroit News' Chris McCosky. Mize is on track to come off the 15-day injured list and start against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. It's good news for the Tigers after they just placed right-hander Reese Olson (finger) on the IL on Monday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since May 8 with a strained left hamstring. Mize will be worth a look as a fantasy streamer in his first game back against a Guardians team that is sporting a .686 OPS, which ranks only 22nd in baseball. Although Mize has a below-average 21% strikeout rate in 42 2/3 innings this year, it's the highest mark of his career and he has a nice 2.53 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in his seven starts for Detroit.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 9. The right-hander was fantastic against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. He gave up one earned run across six innings of work. However, Mize reportedly injured his hamstring during the late stages of that outing. As a result, Mize will be sidelined for a few weeks, which is a shame considering how well he has been pitching this season. The Tigers have reportedly named Keider Montero as Tuesday's starter. If he pitches well, Montero could see more starts in the rotation while Mize is out. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump to the waiver wire to add Montero unless you're desperate for pitching in deeper leagues. He'll face the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize picked up his fourth straight victory in Thursday's 10-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. The former first-overall pick logged six innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while striking out eight to improve to 6-1 on the year (four straight wins). Mize fired 63 of 86 pitches for strikes, picking up 16 swings-and-misses en route to a strong 38% CSW. He's let up one or fewer runs in five of seven starts in 2025 -- and four runs in the other two. Additionally, the Auburn product has been good about issuing free passes of late, with Thursday marking the third time in five appearances that he had not. He'll square off against the Boston Red Sox early next week, sporting a stellar 2.53 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 42 2/3 innings (35:9 K:BB ratio).
