Tigers manager A.J. Hinch expressed optimism regarding Casey Mize's potential return, stating, 'We're anticipating a good meeting with Casey tomorrow, and if he can bounce back, that's on the horizon.' Mize’s success in rehab is critical as the team aims to have him back in the rotation.
Casey Mize's rehab stint showed notable improvement, specifically in his slider's effectiveness, which generated a 33.3% whiff rate during four starts, significantly higher than his earlier performance with the Tigers.
In his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo, Mize demonstrated strong performance, achieving a 2.63 ERA and striking out 17 batters over 13⅔ innings, suggesting readiness for his return to Major League action.
The Tigers are managing Tarik Skubal's innings as they prepare for Mize's return, indicating a thoughtful approach to pitcher workload. If Mize starts Friday, Skubal will have additional rest before his matchup.
