Detroit Free Press • • sports
Key Points:
- Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize exited Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves due to right groin tightness after recording one out in the third inning.
- Mize left the mound without attempting to throw a practice pitch, signaling a serious injury concern, and was replaced by reliever Brant Hurter.
- This injury adds to Mize's recent history of lower-body issues, having spent time on the injured list in 2024 and 2025 for left hamstring strains.
- In the 2026 season, Mize had a 2.90 ERA over six starts before this injury, and he is approaching free agency for the first time in November.
