Casey Mize Throws Live Batting Practice
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.
