The Tigers placed\u00a0Casey Mize<\/a> back on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation. He\u2019ll be replaced on the active roster by reliever\u00a0Beau Brieske<\/a>, who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. That requires the Tigers to open a spot on the 40-man roster, so they transferred southpaw Brant Hurter<\/a> to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n

Mize has been plagued by right groin discomfort in what has otherwise been a strong year. The former first overall pick was diagnosed with an adductor strain in late April and missed around three weeks. He returned on May 16 and looked sharp in his first couple starts. Mize was pitching well on Wednesday but forced to make an exit after four innings with what appeared to be a new groin injury.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s evidently the case, though it\u2019s encouraging that this diagnosis was due to inflammation rather than another strain. It\u2019s unlikely it\u2019ll be an extended absence, yet it\u2019s surely an annoyance for Mize and the team that he\u2019ll need to miss another couple starts. He has arguably been the team\u2019s most valuable pitcher this year thanks to the\u00a0Tarik Skubal<\/a> injury.<\/p>\n

Mize carries a 2.27 earned run average with a career-best 26.5% strikeout rate across 47 2\/3 frames. He\u2019s certainly pitching well enough to earn a second straight All-Star appearance if he could stay healthy. Mize is also an impending free agent who\u2019ll be one of the top non-Skubal options on the open market. Although a pair of minor groin issues probably aren\u2019t going to be a huge blow to his value, they add to the various injuries Mize has faced throughout his career.<\/p>\n

Detroit enters this weekend\u2019s road series against the White Sox with a 22-35 record. They\u2019re tied with the Angels for worst in the American League. Mize\u2019s injury won\u2019t change the rotation plans for this series.\u00a0Troy Melton<\/a>, Framber Valdez<\/a> and\u00a0Keider Montero<\/a> were lined up for the three-game set. They\u2019ll need a new starter for Monday\u2019s series opener in Tampa Bay. There\u2019s a decent chance that\u2019ll be\u00a0Ty Madden<\/a>, who is eligible to return from a forearm contusion this weekend. Madden worked 4 1\/3 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Monday and may only need the one minor league tuneup.<\/p>\n

Brieske is back to give skipper A.J. Hinch a nine-man bullpen for the weekend. He has been out all season with a left adductor strain. The 28-year-old righty struggled last year while battling ankle and forearm issues. He was a capable middle innings arm from 2023-24.<\/p>\n

Hurter is dealing with lumbar spine inflammation. He just went on the IL over the weekend, meaning this transfer rules him out until the second half of July. The 6\u20196\u2033 southpaw has worked around middling strikeout and walk numbers to manage a 2.84 ERA across 25 1\/3 frames.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tigers placed\u00a0Casey Mize back on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[158693,178486,13664,99],"class_list":["post-673200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-beau-brieske","tag-brant-hurter","tag-casey-mize","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
