Casey Mize Leaves Saturday's Game Early With Ankle Sprain
The San Diego Padres announced that right-hander Casey Mize (ankle) left his start early on Saturday at Petco Park against the Minnesota Twins with a sprained right ankle. Before being pulled, Mize struggled on the mound, allowing four earned runs on four hits (three home runs) while walking one and striking out none in 2 2/3 innings pitched. The 29-year-old's next scheduled start next weekend on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays is now up in the air and will depend on how he recovers over the next few days. The former first overall pick in 2018 from Auburn has gone 5-7 on the season with a 3.44 ERA (3.28 FIP) and 1.09 WHIP with a career-high 139 strikeouts and 36 walks in 149 innings pitched across his 28 starts with the Padres and Detroit Tigers. Since being acquired by the Friars at the Aug. 3 trade deadline, Mize has struggled in four starts for San Diego, allowing 14 earned runs on 21 hits (five homers) while walking seven and fanning 10 in 18 innings. If he is cleared to make his next start, he will have a difficult matchup on tap on the road against the first-place Rays.
