Tigers place Casey Mize, Javier Baez on injured lists

ATLANTA — The Detroit Tigers positioned pitcher Casey Mize and infielder Javier Baez on the injured checklist Wednesday after they went down in a series-opening loss to the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

Mize went on the 15-day IL with a proper adductor pressure, whereas Baez is on the 10-day IL with a proper ankle sprain. Left-hander Enmanuel DeJesus and infielder Jace Jung have been recalled from Triple-A Toledo.

Mize exited within the third inning Tuesday with proper groin tightness after fielding a grounder towards first base.

“It was kind of a gradual tightening,” the right-hander stated after the sport. “We did some tests between innings and felt good enough to go back out there, but it just never really went away.”

Two innings later, Baez was carded off the sphere with an injured proper foot he suffered on a groundout to shortstop. He was attempting to beat a excessive throw to first base, hit the bag awkwardly along with his left foot after which his proper foot folded underneath his leg as he fell.

Báez stated he was feeling higher after getting remedy, however it wasn’t sufficient to keep away from a stint on the injured checklist.

Mize was an All-Star in 2025, when he went 14-6 with a 3.86 ERA. He is 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA in six begins this season.
