Casey Mize - Throws from 100+ feet Friday Mize (elbow, back) threw from around 100 feet Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mize, who underwent Tommy John surgery last June, is slowly ramping up his activity early in the season. The elbow injury and subsequent procedure typically leads to a 12-to-18 month recovery period, putting Mize in an uncertain position on his status for the 2023 campaign. Regardless though, the 2018 first round selection figures to be a big part of the Tigers' long-term plan and the organization is unlikely to rush him back.

Eric Haase - Productive in loss Haase went 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.
Impact Haase had a good night and snapped a small slump, as he entered the night batting .188 over his last seven games with no multi-hit efforts during the stretch. The Detroit catcher is now batting a solid .271, and while Jake Rogers will continue to see playing time, Haase is the primary option behind the plate. He also has the versatility to play the outfield, which further cements his regular spot in the lineup.

Chasen Shreve - Implodes in loss Thursday Shreve (1-2) allowed five runs while retiring only two batters to take the loss Thursday against the Orioles. He gave up four hits and a walk.
Impact Shreve came out for the top of the seventh inning and promptly allowed a single and a double to start the frame. Things didn't get much better from there, and the lefty saw his ERA climb from 3.00 to 7.45 in the process. Shreve wasn't much better for the Mets last year, posting a 6.49 ERA across 25 games, so expectations should be kept fairly low moving forward.

Joey Wentz - Fans six in no decision Wentz did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six.
Impact Wentz was excellent Thursday, retiring 13 of the first 14 batters before Joey Ortiz tagged him for a single that drove in Jorge Mateo and Adam Frazier in the fifth. The 25-year-old has been incredibly inconsistent this season, allowing five runs in two of his five starts but stifled the Giants on April 14, striking out seven and allowing just one run. Thursday's contest also marked Wentz's second outing allowing no home runs. Considering Wentz owns an 0-3 record, he may be pushed out of the starting rotation once Matt Manning (foot) comes back, but considering Manning has just started throwing, Wentz should be expected to make at least one more start.

Tarik Skubal - To throw bullpen Friday Skubal (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Impact It will be the first mound work for Skubal since he underwent left flexor tendon surgery last August. The 26-year-old southpaw still has many boxes to check in his rehab, but he could perhaps be an option for the Tigers' starting rotation around early June. He was placed on the 60-day injured list before Opening Day.

Javier Báez - Back in lineup Baez (hand) is back in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Orioles.
Impact Baez had to exit Wednesday's game against the Brewers after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back clean and he won't miss any starts. The veteran shortstop is still looking for his first home run of the season but had carried a 10-game hitting streak into Wednesday's action.

Jace Fry - Nursing sore elbow at Triple-A Fry is currently sidelined at Triple-A Toledo with left elbow inflammation, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Fry is being evaluated and receiving "conservative" treatment, so it seems as if he'll probably be out a while. The lefty holds a 4.50 ERA over seven appearances with Toledo this season and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Rosenthal - Nursing sprained elbow Rosenthal is currently sidelined at Triple-A Toledo by a right elbow sprain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Rosenthal made two appearances with Toledo before getting hurt, allowing one run with a 1:3 K:BB over two innings. He's going through physical therapy right now and it's not clear how long it might be before he's allowed to throw again. Rosenthal had Tommy John surgery back in 2017 and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues.
