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).

Casey Mize Lands on IL as Tigers Call Brieske Back to Bolster Bullpen

Detroit placed Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list with right adductor inflammation (retroactive to May 28) and recalled Beau Brieske from the 60-day IL to fill the roster, while Brant Hurter was shifted to the 60-day IL. Mize, who owns a 2.27 ERA and a high strikeout rate this season, had just returned from an earlier adductor strain before leaving Wednesday’s start with groin pain. The Tigers, 22-35, will need a replacement starter for Monday’s series opener in Tampa Bay, with Ty Madden possibly returning from a forearm contusion, and Brieske’s return provides added bullpen depth for a weekend lineup.

Tigers brace for rotation and infield shakeup with Mize and Báez out

Casey Mize’s right‑groin tightness and Javier Báez’s ankle injury are likely to sideline both Tigers for weeks, forcing Detroit to patch together a thinning pitching staff and infield depth. Expect spot starts from Brant Hurter or Enmanuel de Jesus and a potential return of Zach McKinstry to cover shortstop, while several minor‑league options remain injured or underdeveloped. With depth tested and top prospects like Max Clark still maturing, the Tigers will rely on internal reinforcements and any late-season returns from veterans to navigate the next few weeks as they chase improvement.

Tigers Shorthanded as Mize, Báez Hit Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list with a right adductor strain and Javier Báez on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle, with Enmanuel De Jesus and Jace Jung recalled from Triple-A Toledo. Mize had been one of the club’s best starters (2.90 ERA, 27.3% strikeouts) before exiting his last start with an apparent injury. With Justin Verlander also sidelined, Detroit’s rotation depth is being tested and potential replacements include Drew Anderson or Triple-A arms Sawyer Gipson-Long and Ty Madden. Báez’s injury opens up outfield/center-field opportunities, with Matt Vierling, Wenceel Perez, and the possibility of Max Clark eventually reaching the majors. The timetable for Báez’s return is not yet clear.
