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.
