Casey Mize Back on IL With Right Adductor Inflammation
The Tigers starter exits his May 28 start early and lands on the 15-day IL, his second groin-related absence this season.
Detroit placed right-hander Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation. Mize had already missed roughly three weeks in late April with an adductor strain before returning on May 16. He was forced to leave his most recent start after four innings with what appeared to be a recurrence. The diagnosis of inflammation rather than a new strain is considered a positive sign, suggesting the absence may be relatively short.
