Tigers Expect Brief Absence for Injured Casey Mize

Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a mild left hamstring strain, which is considered less severe than his similar injury last season. Mize experienced the issue during his recent start against the Colorado Rockies, initially attributing it to dehydration before it was diagnosed as a strain. The Tigers expect him to miss only one outing and remain optimistic about his quick return, though they are cautious due to his prior hamstring history. To fill his roster spot, Detroit recalled right-handed reliever Chase Lee from Triple-A Toledo, and Keider Montero is expected to start in Mize's place. Mize has posted a 6-1 record with a 2.53 ERA, playing a key role in Detroit's strong season. The team will monitor Mize's recovery closely as they look to maintain their position atop the American League.
