The Detroit Tigers will be without right-hander Casey Mize, at least for a little while.
On Saturday, manager A.J. Hinch announced that Mize is being placed on the injured list with a mild hamstring strain, after experiencing some discomfort during his last outing in Colorado.
“In his last inning in Colorado he felt a little sensation, a little tweak,” Hinch told reporters. “Everybody thought it was dehydration. Turns out it was a little something. Very mild.”
RHP Chase Lee has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will be active for Saturday’s game. Meanwhile, Mize’s scheduled start for Tuesday is now TBD.
We have placed RHP Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list (retro to May 9) with a left hamstring strain.

RHP Chase Lee has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo.
Mize has been excellent for the Tigers this season, posting a 6-1 record with a 2.53 ERA, 35 strikeouts, and a 1.01 WHIP over 42.2 innings in seven starts.
With Detroit needing rotation help, Keider Montero seems like a strong candidate to get the call.
Stay tuned—Mize’s absence may be short, but the opportunity for Montero could be big.
