Manager A.J. Hinch said Mize was removed Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays due to right leg cramping, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old took a no-decision and allowed one run on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks across five frames before departing one batter into the sixth inning, but he's not dealing with a significant injury. Mize should be fine to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus Minnesota, assuming he experiences no additional issues when he tosses his between-starts bullpen session in the next few days.

Mize was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays due to an apparent right leg injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was visited by the training staff after throwing a 92-mile-per-hour fastball -- more than two ticks below his season average -- during the sixth inning, and he left the game after appearing to flex his right leg. The specifics of the injury are unclear, and Mize's status should be updated by the team in the near future. Before exiting while the game was tied 1-1, MIze struck out five and was charged with one earned run on six hits and no walks over five innings.

Mize (7-2) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits over six innings in a 7-3 victory over the Pirates. He struck out four without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers slugged four homers on the night, giving Mize more than enough run support as he recorded his first win and first quality start since returning from the IL in late May. Over five outings since recovering from a hamstring strain, the right-hander has produced a 3.70 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB through 24.1 innings. Mize will look to build on this performance in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.

Mize (6-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
It was a decent outing overall for Mize, who had failed to make it through five innings in his previous two starts. The only damage against right-hander came on Ramon Urias' two-run homer in the third inning, though the Tigers could only muster one run of support, leaving Mize with his second loss. The 28-year-old Mize now sports a 2.95 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 11 starts (61 innings) this season. He's currently slated to face the Pirates at home in his next outing.

Mize did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Mize limited the damage to a two-run fourth inning despite generating only four whiffs on 93 pitches and issuing a season-high four walks. After completing at least five frames in each of his first eight starts, the 28-year-old has logged just eight total innings over his past two outings. He'll take a 2.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 55.2 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

Mize didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander needed 79 pitches (49 strikes) to record just 10 outs in his shortest start of the season, but Mize was never in danger of taking a loss thanks to plenty of early offensive support from the Tigers. Since returning from an IL stint due to a hamstring strain, he's been tagged for five runs (four earned) in only 8.1 innings over two outings, but a 10:3 K:BB suggests his luck could turn soon. Mize will look to bounce back in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week against the White Sox.

Mize allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mize picked up where he left off after getting shelved with a mild left hamstring strain earlier in the month. Both runs on his line were scored in the third inning, with Bo Naylor tagging Mize for a solo shot and Jose Ramirez adding an RBI single. Mize was limited to 77 pitches (53 strikes) in this start, but considering his injury was not arm-related, this was likely more a product of game flow than anything to be concerned about. The 28-year-old has taken a big step forward this season, maintaining a 2.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB across 47.2 innings through eight starts, and he's earned a 6-1 record. Mize's next outing is projected to be at Kansas City.

The Tigers reinstated Mize (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Guardians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mize landed on the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring strain, but the 28-year-old right-hander has been cleared to make his return. Mize went 6-1 across seven starts with a 2.53 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB across 42.2 innings prior to landing on the IL. To make room on the 26-man roster for Mize, the Tigers optioned Akil Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo following Friday's game.

Mize (hamstring) threw a five-inning simulated game Monday and is on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers lost Reese Olson (finger) to the 15-day IL on Monday but will get some reinforcement with Mize poised to return this weekend. Mize has been shelved since mid-May with a left hamstring strain.

Mize was placed on the injured list Saturday due to a hamstring strain, retroactive to May 9, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mize pitched Thursday and dominated the Rockies, allowing one earned run with eight strikeouts across six innings. However, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Mize felt a sensation in his hamstring late in the outing that was originally attributed to dehydration. The strain is considered mild. The Tigers did not announce a replacement for the rotation, though Keider Montero is a likely option.
