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.

Padres miss home-field advantage as Diamondbacks win 11-4, Mize likely out for playoffs

The San Diego Padres lost 11-4 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, failing to secure the No. 4 National League seed and home-field advantage for the Wild Card Series. Casey Mize’s poor performance and injury concerns suggest he will be placed on the injured list before the postseason. The Diamondbacks are now one game behind the Phillies with two games remaining.

Padres' Casey Mize injures ankle in bizarre dugout slip

Padres pitcher Casey Mize sprained his right ankle after slipping on a dugout step during his start against the Twins, exiting in the third inning after 3 2/3 frames in which he allowed four runs on four hits with three strikeouts. Since being traded from Detroit, he has a 7.00 ERA over four starts, and San Diego hopes the injury is minor and he can return soon as they chase a playoff spot.

Casey Mize's Padres debut derailed by career-worst start in Arizona

Casey Mize's San Diego Padres debut at Chase Field ended in a career-worst 3.1 innings, allowing 8 earned runs on 9 hits with 3 walks and 1 strikeout in a 10-4 loss to the Diamondbacks after being traded from Detroit. He owned the miscue, saying he couldn’t execute, while Padres manager Craig Stammen attributed some rust and travel disruption but expressed confidence he’ll rebound once back in a routine. Mize and fellow trade acquisition Robbie Ray are projected to make at least 16 starts as San Diego remains in the wild-card hunt with 47 games left.

Deadline Day Deals Shake Up Four MLB Lineups

During the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, four major trades reshaped rosters: the Guardians acquired LHP Foster Griffin from Washington; the Padres landed RHP Casey Mize and IF Gage Workman from Detroit; the Yankees obtained OF Heliot Ramos from San Francisco; and the Diamondbacks added OF Lars Nootbaar from St. Louis. Griffin could boost Cleveland’s rotation, Mize brings strong control and a solid three-pitch mix to San Diego, Ramos adds left-handed power for New York, and Nootbaar offers upside in Arizona. The deals reflect teams pursuing pitching depth and outfield/upside talent for a stronger stretch run.

Padres shore up rotation at deadline with Mize and Ray pickups

Hours before the 3 p.m. deadline, the Padres bolstered their rotation by acquiring Casey Mize from Detroit and Robbie Ray from San Francisco, plus infielder Gage Workman, at the expense of Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf. Mize owns a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts (with an IL stint for a groin strain) and has pitched well since returning, while Ray has a 1.09 ERA over his past eight appearances. San Diego had already landed Ray earlier that day, aided by salary relief, and is hopeful for late-August returns from Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta as they pivot away from a bullpen-heavy approach to stabilize the rotation.

Padres surge to the top with Casey Mize, while Tigers press reset

San Diego bolsters a win-now rotation by acquiring Casey Mize and infield prospect Gage Workman from Detroit, adding Mize to a rotation that already includes Robbie Ray. Detroit departs with Mize and other pieces for Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf as part of a broader rebuild. Mize, healthy and posting strong 2026 numbers, is expected to anchor SD’s rotation alongside King and Ray, signaling a major shift for both teams.

Tigers Trade Skubal, Keep Door Open for Playoff Push

Detroit traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers for River Ryan and prospects Zyhir Hope and Brady Smith, signaling a partial rethink rather than a full fire sale; the Tigers will still chase a wild-card spot (or even the AL Central) while evaluating offers for pending free agents like Casey Mize, using the payroll relief to stay under the luxury tax, though replacing Skubal's production will be a major challenge for a rotation that has shown strong underlying talent but a poor one-run record.

Casey Mize Attracts Trade Interest From Several Contenders

Detroit right-hander Casey Mize, in the final year of club control, is drawing interest from several teams (Cubs, Diamondbacks, Rays and Braves) as the Tigers weigh potential deadline deals; Mize has delivered his best season yet with a 2.70 ERA over 86 2/3 innings, a 24.9% strikeout rate and 5.6% walks, though injury history and a recent velocity dip complicate his market. Detroit could trade him for value, or hold him and potentially issue a qualifying offer later, depending on how the deadline shakes out and their playoff hopes.

Tigers Hold Mize Out as Deadline Looms, Signaling Selloff

Detroit scratched Casey Mize from his Friday start to protect his health heading into the trade deadline, signaling Detroit may move him as Tarik Skubal remains the key trade chip. Mize owns a 2.70 ERA through 16 starts this season and has battled injuries; a potential deal would shift remaining salary to the acquiring team and fits a wider sell-off around expiring contracts.

Torres Lands on IL as Casey Mize Returns to Tigers’ Rotation

Detroit placed second baseman Gleyber Torres on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain, a re-aggravation after a productive stretch that helped spark an 8-5 run this month; Casey Mize was activated from the IL to start, returning to a rotation that also features Tarik Skubal, Framber Valdez and Troy Melton. With Torres out, Detroit will mix Zach McKinstry, Hao-Yu Lee and Colt Keith at second base. Both Torres and Mize are pending free agency at season’s end, adding trade-deadline intrigue as the Tigers try to capitalize on recent improved play while climbing in the standings (nine games back in the AL Central, six out in the Wild Card).
