Tigers Officially Activate Casey Mize From Injured List
The Detroit Tigers officially activated right-hander Casey Mize (groin) from the 15-day injured list on Saturday, and he will make the start at home at Comerica Park on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Mize will return to Detroit's starting rotation this weekend after landing on the IL due to a right-groin strain that he suffered in his last appearance against the Atlanta Braves on April 28. The 29-year-old is returning to the big-league roster without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, so he'll be a little riskier for fantasy managers against a Blue Jays team that ranks 24th in baseball in OPS (.686), 21st in home runs (40). Toronto also has the fewest strikeouts in the league, but Mize isn't really a big swing-and-miss arm. The former first overall pick in 2018 out of Auburn was having a nice season before his groin injury, posting a 2.90 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 31 innings across his six starts. He's currently rostered in only 52% of Yahoo leagues and deserves a look off the waiver wire for rotation depth if you're hurting in that area.
