Tosses three innings Mize allowed a run on three hits and a walk over three innings in Friday's loss against the Rays. He struck out three.

Impact Mize coughed up a sacrifice fly to Austin Meadows in the first inning before turning in two scoreless frames. He's gone three or fewer innings in each of his last three appearances as the Tigers are clearly restricting his workload down the stretch. The 24-year-old righty is sporting a 3.64 ERA through 143.1 innings. Mize is projected to face the White Sox at home next week in what's expected to be another short outing.

Takes eighth loss Mize (7-8) allowed three runs across two innings to take the loss Saturday against the Rays. He gave up three hits and a walk while striking out two.

Impact Mize struggled in the second inning, allowing all three of his earned runs, and the Tigers didn't bring him back after that, shutting down the righty with just 48 pitches on his ledger. The team is clearly being cautious with Mize, who has now tossed 140.1 innings this season after recording just 28.1 during his MLB debut in 2020. The 24-year-old is a key part of the Tigers' future and should have fewer restrictions in 2022 and beyond. Mize lines up to start again Friday against this same Tampa Bay squad, and fantasy managers should expect another short outing.

Three innings in no-decision Mize didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Cincinnati after tossing three scoreless innings, fanning two.

Impact Mize hadn't tossed such a short outing since July 2, when he also hurled three innings against the White Sox -- though in that game he gave up two earned runs on four hits and a walk while fanning two. Mize has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four appearances and while he has struggled to pitch deep into games, at least he's limiting the damage. He owns a 3.95 ERA across six appearances (27.1 innings) since the beginning of August.

Yields three runs in loss Mize (7-7) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Minnesota.

Impact Mize was dominant to start the game, cruising through three perfect innings with a pair of strikeouts. He then allowed three runs in the fourth, including a two-run shot by Josh Donaldson. It was the first time he completed at least six innings since July 29 but his season ERA grew slightly to 3.59. Mize is lined up to face the Reds on the road this weekend.

Records seventh win Mize (7-6) pitched five scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Cardinals. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact Mize looked sharp through five frames, but manager A.J. Hinch decided to pull his righty after just 76 pitches. The 24-year-old has now logged 129.1 innings, which is up significantly from the 28.1 he posted during his MLB debut last season. His professional high was the 109.1 innings he tossed between High-A and Double-A back in 2019, so it makes sense that the Tigers are being careful with Mize's workload, given his importance to the team's future. He's pitched well with a 3.55 ERA this year, but his fantasy value will be capped if he's not allowed to work deep into games. Mize is currently projected to start again Monday against the Twins.
