Mize (7-8) allowed three runs across two innings to take the loss Saturday against the Rays. He gave up three hits and a walk while striking out two.
Mize struggled in the second inning, allowing all three of his earned runs, and the Tigers didn't bring him back after that, shutting down the righty with just 48 pitches on his ledger. The team is clearly being cautious with Mize, who has now tossed 140.1 innings this season after recording just 28.1 during his MLB debut in 2020. The 24-year-old is a key part of the Tigers' future and should have fewer restrictions in 2022 and beyond. Mize lines up to start again Friday against this same Tampa Bay squad, and fantasy managers should expect another short outing.
