Casey Mize To Land On Injured List On Wednesday
5 months agoDetroit 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.
