Padres’ Casey Mize suffers unfortunate injury in ridiculous way
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Padres pitcher Casey Mize injured his right ankle after slipping down dugout steps during his start against the Twins, leading to his removal in the third inning.
- Mize suffered a sprained ankle but the team hopes he won't miss significant time to continue contributing to their playoff push.
- Prior to the injury, Mize struggled in the game, allowing four runs on four hits and three home runs in just under four innings pitched.
- Since being traded from the Tigers, Mize's performance has declined sharply, posting a 7.00 ERA in four starts compared to a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts with Detroit.
- An update on Mize’s status is expected soon, with his next start likely scheduled against the Rays next weekend, though he may miss that start due to the injury.
