Next start coming Tuesday Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Mize will be pushed back in the pitching schedule and make his next start Tuesday versus the Angels in Detroit, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic repo... Impact After tossing 4.1 innings earlier this week in Tuesday's win over Baltimore, Mize would have been available to start on four days' rest for Sunday's series finale with Cleveland. However, with the Tigers keen on managing the workloads for Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning, Hinch noted that all of the three young hurlers would pitch on extended rest for remainder of the season, with the goal of having the trio make seven more starts each. In order to accomplish that goal, expect the Tigers to add a sixth starter to the rotation Sunday, with Triple-A Toledo right-hander Drew Hutchison representing one potential candidate to fill the opening.
