Casey Mize Activated and Starting on Wednesday in Houston
The Detroit Tigers announced on Wednesday that they activated right-hander Casey Mize (groin) from the 15-day injured list and placed infielder Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the 10-day IL with a left-oblique strain in a corresponding move. Mize is returning from an adductor strain that has kept him sidelined since May 27. In his only minor-league rehab start, the 29-year-old went five innings and threw only 55 pitches last Tuesday, so we'd advise against using him as a streamer on Wednesday, even in the favorable matchup at Daikin Park. The former first overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft out of Auburn University has kept the positive momentum going this year after being named a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his fifth year in the majors. Mize is returning to a 2-3 record, career-best 2.27 ERA (2.40 FIP), 0.96 WHIP, 49:12 K:BB, and career-high 26.5% walk rate in 47 2/3 frames over his nine starts. He is rostered in 62% of Yahoo leagues and is worth a pickup off the waiver wire for additional rotation depth in mixed leagues.
