Mize did not factor into the decision in a win over the Padres on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over 5.1 innings while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Mize got off to a rough start, allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of the first two innings while also surrendering two home runs over that span. However, he would finish strong before being relieved by Kenta Maeda with one out in the sixth. Mize has allowed three runs in each of his first two starts since returning from the injured list, though he's managed to get through at least five frames in each of those outings while posting a combined 6:2 K:BB. He'll look to secure his third win of the season next week when the Tigers host Colorado.

Mize didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Red Sox, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
While his final line wasn't great, Mize was efficient in his first start in two months, making it through six innings on just 85 pitches. Overall, the right-hander is 2-6 with a 4.36 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 62:22 K:BB in 17 starts (84.2 innings) this season. Mize will look for a better result in his next outing, currently lined up for next week in San Diego.

The Tigers activated Mize (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mize missed two months of action with a strained hamstring but is ready to rejoin the Tigers rotation with a start Friday against the Red Sox. The right-hander looked good in four rehab starts with Triple-A Toledo, posting a 2.63 ERA and 17:4 K:BB across 13.2 frames. He threw 78 pitches in his final rehab outing, so Mize should be available for close to a full workload Friday. He holds a 4.23 ERA and 58:21 K:BB in 78.2 innings covering 16 starts for Detroit this season.

Mize (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday that was deemed successful by manager A.J. Hinch, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mize's official return has not yet been announced by the Tigers, but it appears that he should be lined up to start Friday versus the Red Sox. The right-hander had a rehab outing Saturday, striking out seven in 4.2 innings while surrendering three earned runs. If he is able to make his return Friday, it will mark Mize's first big-league start since June 30.

Mize (hamstring) struck out seven and allowed three earned runs on three hits and no walks over 4.2 innings in his rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Toledo.
EDGE Analysis
Mize didn't perform quite as dominantly as he did in his prior three rehab outings, but he racked up 13 swinging strikes in the contest, and most importantly, built up to 78 pitches. Overall, Mize turned in a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings across his four outings with Toledo, and he now looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list this upcoming weekend when first eligible. The Tigers could reinsert Mize into the rotation as soon as Friday's series opener versus the Red Sox in Detroit.

Mize (hamstring) struck out five over 3.1 innings and gave up one earned run on three hits and two walks in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Toledo.
EDGE Analysis
In his third outing with Toledo, Mize built up to 63 pitches (39 strikes). He's expected to make one more start with the Triple-A club Saturday before making his return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 30 or shortly thereafter.

Mize (hamstring) struck out three over 3.1 scoreless innings Tuesday in his second rehab start with Triple-A Toledo. He gave up one hit and one walk and hit a batter while tossing 50 pitches (34 strikes).
EDGE Analysis
Mize has yet to permit a run through his first two rehab outings and has posted a 5:2 K:BB across 5.2 innings. Since he was initially placed on the 15-day injured list July 3 with a strained left hamstring before being transferred to the 60-day IL, Mize won't be eligible for activation until Aug. 30, but he appears well on his way to being ready to reclaim a spot in the Detroit rotation on that date. He's scheduled to make his third rehab start for Toledo on Sunday and will likely make one or two more starts after that before being reinstated from the IL.

Mize (hamstring) is scheduled to make the second start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mize began his rehab assignment at Toledo on Thursday, striking out two batters and allowing three hits and one walk over 2.1 scoreless innings. The right-hander tossed 35 pitches in the start and generated six whiffs on 15 swings while sporting a fastball that averaged 93.5 miles per hour. Mize is expected to make four total rehab starts in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list around the time that he's first eligible Aug. 30.

EDGE Analysis
Mize has been on the injured list since July 3 while recovering from a strained hamstring, but he's now on the cusp of a return. The right-hander is eligible to be activated from the 60-day IL on Aug. 30 and he'll likely make multiple starts with Toledo ahead of that date.

Mize (hamstring) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
