Tigers Depth Chart
Casey Mize News
The Detroit Tigers left right-hander Casey Mize off the roster for the American League Division Series against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians and included rookie right-hander Keider Montero instead. Mize missed more time with injury in 2024 and finished the regular season in the bullpen after making 20 of his 22 appearances on the year in a starting role. The 27-year-old former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn wasn't good in his two relief outings and went 2-6 overall with a 4.49 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and just 78 strikeouts in 102 1/3 total innings. Montero wasn't all that much better in his first MLB season, going 6-6 with a 4.76 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 77:31 K:BB in 19 outings (16 starts) over 98 1/3 innings. He wasn't included on the roster for the Wild-Card Series but did throw 6 1/3 shutout innings against Cleveland back on July 8. Montero will most likely be used in a long-relief role.

Casey Mize Set Up To Start Friday
The Detroit Tigers designated left-hander Joey Wentz for assignment on Friday, opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list. The Tigers haven't officially named a starter for their game on Friday at Comerica Park against the Boston Red Sox, but it's expected to be Mize. The 27-year-old won't be a recommended streaming option on Friday evening against the visiting BoSox, mainly because he's returning after missing two months due to a hamstring strain, even if he posted a 2.63 ERA with 17 strikeouts and only four walks in 13 2/3 innings with Triple-A Toledo in his four minor-league rehab starts. The former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn deserves attention in deeper-mixed fantasy leagues now that he's back. He's gone 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a weak 16.8% strikeout rate in his 16 starts in 2024.

Casey Mize Looks Sharp Again In Rehab Start
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) made his second start for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk in 3 1/3 scoreless innings against Charlotte in a 50-pitch outing. He threw a near-even mix of fastballs, sinkers, and splitters, but his velocity was a tick down from his season averages across the board. Mize has now thrown 5 2/3 scoreless innings over two minor-league rehab outings so far. He'll make another appearance in the minors on Sunday, as the Tigers can afford to be cautious and build up his workload slowly before he's eligible to return from the 60-day injured list on Aug. 30. The former No. 1 overall pick is working his way back from a strained left hamstring, and he should be back in Detroit's rotation before the end of the month if all continues to go well in his rehab.

Casey Mize Scheduled For Rehab Start On Tuesday
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) is set to start for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday as part of his rehab assignment. This will mark Mize's second start of his rehab assignment as he threw two and a third innings on Thursday and looked solid. The 27-year-old will be set to make a few more rehab starts after that and won't be eligible to rejoin the Tigers' injury depleted rotation until August 30th. Mize posted a 4.23 ERA before hitting the injured list, driven by a subpar 6.56 ERA in May sandwich between solid months in April and June. With the Tigers out of the playoff picture, Detroit will likely ease Mize back into the rotation in September and keep him on a pitch count to preserve his health. Fantasy managers should prepare accordingly. Outside of Tarik Skubal, no other starting pitchers in Detroit's current rotation are viable fantasy options.

Casey Mize Transferred To 60-Day Injured List
To make room for left-hander Bryan Sammons on the 40-man roster, the Detroit Tigers announced on Monday that they transferred right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. The 27-year-old won't be able to return to Detroit's starting rotation now until early September. It's a disappointment since he's only dealing with a left-hamstring strain. Fantasy managers that may have been stashing him in deep single-year leagues can probably let go now. The former first overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft out of Auburn made his return to the majors in 2024 for the first time since 2022 and has gone 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 21 walks in 78 2/3 innings over 16 starts. Mize's career to this point has been marred by injuries, but he's also had a below-average 18.2% strikeout rate in 267 1/3 innings for the Tigers.

Casey Mize To Throw A Bullpen On Saturday
Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday as he continues to rehab from a left-hamstring strain that he suffered in late June. Saturday's session will be Mize's first time throwing off a mound since he hurt his hammy, and he'll likely need another bullpen before being cleared to face live hitters again. The 27-year-old former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn will also probably need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Detroit's starting rotation, so he's likely at least several weeks away from returning. In his first time in the majors since 2022, Mize has gone 2-6 this year with a 4.23 ERA (3.67 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with a 58:21 K:BB in 16 starts (78 2/3 frames). His 16.8% strikeout rate has left a lot to be desire in fantasy circles in his first year back from injury.

Casey Mize Not Close To A Return
Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the team's upcoming road trip from Friday through Thursday, July 25, against the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians. The Tigers are being cautious with Mize, who will continue to rehab his injured hamstring in Lakeland, Florida, at the team's spring training facility. The hope is that the 27-year-old will be able to throw off a mound soon after having not appeared at all in July to this point with a left-hamstring strain. Before he's cleared to rejoin Detroit's starting rotation, Mize is also going to need to make at least one minor-league rehab start, so fantasy managers can't expect him to return until at least early August. The former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn has been up and down in his first year in the big leagues since 2022, going 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 58 K's in 78 2/3 innings.

Casey Mize To Land On Injured List On Wednesday
Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) will be placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a hamstring injury that he suffered in his last start on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. It was initially believed that Mize was suffering from a hamstring cramp on Sunday, but it turned out to be a more serious injury that will now sideline him through the All-Star break in mid-July. Jack Flaherty is dealing with more back problems and will miss his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins, so the team's No. 5 prospect, Keider Montero, will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his second big-league start on Wednesday. Montero, who struggled in his first MLB start, could stick in Detroit's rotation following the All-Star break if he pitches well on Wednesday and Mize isn't ready to go when he's eligible to come off the IL.

Casey Mize A Candidate For The Injured List
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that right-hander Casey Mize (hamstring) is likely an injured-list candidate and that his hamstring was more of an injury than just a leg cramp. Mize left his last start early on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels with a left-hamstring injury. It was initially believed that the 27-year-old was just dealing with a cramp, but the injury appears a bit more serious now. If he is indeed put on the 15-day injured list, Mize will be unavailable for the Tigers and fantasy managers through the All-Star break in mid-July. In his first season in the big leagues since 2022, Mize has gone 2-6 with a 4.23 ERA (3.68 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 58 strikeouts and 21 walks in 78 2/3 innings over his 16 starts. It's been a bit disappointing that his strikeout rate sits at a weak 16.8%. Matt Manning and Keider Montero are the two likeliest options to take over for Mize in Detroit's rotation.

Casey Mize Exits Early On Sunday
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander was seen grabbing his hamstring after trying to go after a foul pop-up. He was taken out with one out in the sixth inning and a 7-0 lead. Before exiting, Mize allowed three hits, walked two batters, and struck out two hitters. Alex Faedo took over on the mound and could be a candidate to move into the rotation if Mize misses time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.
