Casey Mize Fantasy Stats

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize has been outstanding this season, posting a 2-3 record along with a 2.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and a 43:11 K:BB across 43 2/3 innings. Mize was recently activated from the injured list after missing a few weeks with an adductor strain. The 29-year-old allowed two runs and no walks on four hits while striking out four across 6 2/3 innings and took the loss in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians. Mize has only allowed more than two earned runs in each start just once this season. His K% has increased about three percent from 22.2% in 2025 to 25.1% this season, while his xERA has dipped from 3.66 to 2.71. Mize is rostered in 61% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues, but should be rostered in all formats with the way he has pitched this year.

The Detroit Tigers officially activated right-hander Casey Mize (groin) from the 15-day injured list on Saturday, and he will make the start at home at Comerica Park on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Mize will return to Detroit's starting rotation this weekend after landing on the IL due to a right-groin strain that he suffered in his last appearance against the Atlanta Braves on April 28. The 29-year-old is returning to the big-league roster without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, so he'll be a little riskier for fantasy managers against a Blue Jays team that ranks 24th in baseball in OPS (.686), 21st in home runs (40). Toronto also has the fewest strikeouts in the league, but Mize isn't really a big swing-and-miss arm. The former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn was having a nice season before his groin injury, posting a 2.90 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 31 innings across his six starts. He's currently rostered in only 52% of Yahoo leagues and deserves a look off the waiver wire for rotation depth if you're hurting in that area.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that right-hander Casey Mize (groin) will come off the 15-day injured list to start on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Mize will return from a strained right groin that put him on the IL on April 28, and he will return this weekend without going on a minor-league rehab assignment. It will make him a riskier option in starting fantasy lineups on Saturday, but he has a career-high 27.3% strikeout rate so far in 2026 and will be facing a Blue Jays offense that currently ranks 23rd in baseball with a .686 OPS. The 29-year-old former first overall pick by Detroit out of Auburn in 2018 was a first-time All-Star in 2025 and has a career-best 2.90 ERA through his first six starts this year while also posting a 1.19 WHIP, 35 strikeouts, and 11 walks over 31 innings pitched. While Mize doesn't have an excellent track record for missing bats regularly, he's trending up in fantasy in his sixth year in the big leagues and deserves a look off the waiver wire for rotation depth now that he's healthy again.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) is eligible to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list on Friday, and he could return to the team's starting rotation to make the start on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Mize will be a riskier fantasy option this weekend if he makes his first start since late April due to a right-adductor strain. He threw a batting practice session this week, but it appears that he is going to return to the big-league roster without making a minor-league rehab assignment. The 29-year-old former first overall pick out of Auburn in the 2018 MLB draft was looking great before getting hurt, going 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA (2.85 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 innings across his first six starts, and he was a first-time All-Star for Detroit last season. Mize doesn't have the kind of high-end upside that other arms have because of his lack of strikeouts, but he will have a decent matchup on Saturday if he faces the Blue Jays, who rank 24th in baseball with a .684 OPS.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) threw a live batting practice session on Monday, according to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Mize is on the 15-day injured list due to a right-groin strain, but he might be ready to return shortly after he's eligible to come off the IL on Thursday. He started throwing bullpen sessions over the weekend, and at this right, he could avoid a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Detroit's starting rotation. The 29-year-old former first overall pick out of Auburn in the 2018 MLB draft lacks a ton of fantasy upside because of his modest 7.6 career K/9 in 471 innings in the big leagues, but he was pitching well before his injury. In six starts so far in 2026, Mize holds a 2.90 ERA (2.86 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 innings pitched across six starts. Mize is currently rostered in 42% of Yahoo leagues and will definitely be useful as a back-end rotation arm in mixed leagues if he continues to pitch like he has early on.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) threw a bullpen session on Friday, but he will need to face hitters in a simulated game or go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he rejoins the Tigers' starting rotation, per MLB.com. Mize has been on the 15-day injured list since April 29 due to a mild right-groin strain, and he's not expected to come off the IL until mid-May. The 29-year-old is getting close, but he still has a few boxes left to check. He should have a rotation spot waiting for him in Detroit when he's ready after going 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA (2.87 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and 11 walks in 31 innings over his first six starts of the 2026 campaign. Mize was a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his fifth year in the majors after the Tigers took him first overall in the 2018 draft out of Auburn. The Tigers could really use Mize back sooner rather than later, with ace Tarik Skubal (elbow) out at least a month or two. Mize's lack of strikeout upside caps his fantasy value, but he can still be a useful back-end rotation arm in the right matchups. He's currently rostered in 42% of Yahoo leagues.

The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they placed right-hander Casey Mize (groin) on the 15-day injured list with a right-adductor strain and recalled left-hander Enmanuel DeJesus from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Mize will be on the shelf for the next two weeks after injuring his groin during his start on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. The good news is that the 28-year-old could be ready to rejoin the starting rotation in Detroit when his 15 days are up, as he's reportedly dealing with a Grade 1 strain, which is the least severe. It's unclear who the Tigers will use to replace Mize in the rotation, but the best bets are Drew Anderson and Sawyer Gipson-Long. Mize's next turn in the rotation is set to come this Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Mize, the former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn, has looked good in his first six starts in 2026, going 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 35 strikeouts in his 31 innings of work.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (groin) was forced to exit early from his start on Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves due to groin tightness, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Before getting injured, Mize allowed three hits and two earned runs while walking one and striking out three across 2 1/3 innings of work. The 28-year-old has gotten off to a strong start to the 2026 season, posting a 2-2 record with a 2.90 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts across 31 innings (six starts). The extent of Mize's injury is not yet clear, but a trip to the injured list appears to be a possibility. If Mize were to miss time, Tigers right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long could be the favorite to take his spot in the Detroit rotation.

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.
