Padres Bench Casey Mize for Postseason After Ankle Injury Ends Regular Season
The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list due to a sprained right ankle, effectively ending his 2026 season. Mize, acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline, struggled significantly after injuring his ankle in August, posting a 7.46 ERA in 10 starts. The move clears the way for the Padres to finalize their postseason roster, with Griffin Canning recalled to bolster the bullpen. San Diego has clinched a playoff spot but missed out on home-field advantage in the Wild Card Series after losing to the Diamondbacks.
