Atlanta<\/a> \u2013 Tigers<\/a>\u2019 starting pitcher Casey Mize<\/a> left the game in the third inning.<\/p>\n

He came up limping after fielding a tapper in front of the mound and throwing out Atlanta\u2019s Blake Baldwin at first base.<\/p>\n

Trainer Ryne Eubanks and manager AJ Hinch came out but Mize didn\u2019t even attempt a practice pitch. Mize has a history of hamstring issues. He went on the injured list on May 10 last year with a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

This time, though, the Tigers reported it was a right groin strain.<\/p>\n

Brant Hurter<\/a> was hastily summoned from the bullpen.<\/p>\n

\"Tigers<\/p>\n

Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (12) throws a pitch against the Braves in the first inning at Truist Park.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\u00a0First pitch: 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Truist Park, Atlanta<\/p>\n

\u25b6\u00a0TV\/radio: Detroit Sports Net, 97.1.<\/p>\n

Scouting report<\/p>\n

\u25b6\u00a0LHP Tarik Skubal<\/a> (3-2, 2.72), Tigers: It\u2019s too soon to make any binding judgments about this, it\u2019s just peculiar. Skubal comes out in no-hit mode just about every start: 11 straight outs against the Brewers, no-hitter through four at Boston<\/a>, no-hitter through 5.2 innings against the Marlins, four scoreless at Minnesota<\/a>. But the back end of starts have been rougher. Opponents third time seeing Skubal are hitting .433 with a 1.104 OPS. Hitters seeing him on pitches 76-100 have an OPS of 1.095. His career numbers (.676 OPS third time through, .637 after 76 pitches) suggests this is an anomaly.<\/p>\n

\u25b6\u00a0RHP JR Ritchie (1-0, 2.57), Braves: The 22-year-old first-round pick in 2022, had an impactful Major League debut Thursday, limiting the Nationals to two runs (two solo homers) with seven strikeouts over seven innings. Against a lefty-heavy lineup, he effectively used a slow curveball off a 94-mph four-seam fastball. He also has a changeup, slider, cutter and sinker in his took lit. He had allowed just three earned runs in 27.1 innings at Triple-A Gwinnett before getting called up.<\/p>\n
