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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
